What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role in a creative environment that fosters growth and innovation.

As a passionate talent manager and creator operations leader, I thrive on building strong teams and optimizing workflows to achieve exceptional results. Currently, I serve as the Head of Talent at Mtrx Media, where I lead creator operations for two global content PODs, managing over 50 creators quarterly. My strategic approach to content delivery and team culture has significantly reduced turnaround times and improved team retention.

Previously, I held the position of Performance Marketing Manager at Primecuts Studio, where I directed creator recruitment and campaign execution, enhancing our social media presence across multiple platforms. My experience in managing store operations at Habille-Moi Tournee INC. further honed my leadership skills, enabling me to foster high-performance cultures and drive consistent growth through personalized customer service and effective inventory management.
