What I'm looking for

I am seeking a challenging opportunity that leverages my strengths in sales and operations while fostering a collaborative and innovative work environment.

I am a results-driven and versatile professional with a rich background in sales, operations, marketing, and education. My experience spans various roles where I have consistently demonstrated my ability to drive sales growth, manage teams, and develop effective marketing strategies. I pride myself on my customer service skills, event planning capabilities, and proficiency in social media management, which I leverage to deliver exceptional results.

Currently, I serve as a Sales Assistant to the Broker/Owner at RE/MAX Northland Realty, where I manage client relationships and implement marketing strategies to attract potential buyers. My previous role as a General Assistant at Part City honed my administrative skills, allowing me to manage sales documentation and customer inquiries effectively. Additionally, my experience as the Director/Owner of Soutpansberg Events showcases my strategic planning and event management skills, further enhancing my ability to contribute to any organization.
