What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a luxury retail, hospitality, or client-facing role in the Dallas-Plano area where I can build client relationships, close sales, coordinate memorable experiences, and contribute strong interpersonal and public-speaking skills.

I've supported luxury art auctions at Park West Gallery, building collector relationships, negotiating purchases, closing deals, and presenting financing and new products. I also curate exhibitions, coordinate events, generate leads, and represent the brand while following cruise line guidelines.

My hospitality background includes fine-dining service, wine sales and tastings, estate tours, reservations, weddings, and private functions at Delaire. I've created memorable experiences for international guests and coordinated large groups with calm, detail-oriented service.

I've also taught business and conversational English remotely for professionals from organizations including Samsung and LG, as well as taught English in Moscow and Hanoi. These roles strengthened my public speaking, active listening, presentation, and cross-cultural communication.

I'm eager to bring my sales, hospitality, event coordination, and relationship-building strengths to a luxury retail, hospitality, or client-facing role in the Dallas-Plano area.
