What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role that leverages my skills and experience in sales, hospitality, and event management to drive business results and deliver exceptional customer experiences.

I bring a deep background in Customer Success, SaaS consulting, and client relationship management, having worked with global remote teams to support post-sales growth and customer advocacy. Throughout my career, I’ve helped organizations streamline onboarding, boost product adoption, and retain high-value accounts through proactive engagement and solution-driven support.

My approach blends empathy with strategic thinking—I’m passionate about turning customer feedback into actionable insights and building long-term value for both users and companies. I’ve also led customer journey initiatives, contributed to knowledge base development, and collaborated closely with Product, Sales, and Marketing teams to align goals and enhance the customer experience.

In addition to my core work, I’m interested in remote-first operations, digital transformation, and consulting for startups and scaling teams. I'm particularly drawn to companies that value transparency, async communication, and a culture of continuous improvement.
