What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters growth, encourages innovation, and values teamwork.

I am a results-driven store manager with a proven track record in talent management and sales growth. At Follett Higher Education, I have successfully led initiatives that resulted in a 20% increase in sales revenue within my first year. My role encompasses full-cycle talent management, where I focus on recruiting, training, and coaching to build a high-performing team.

Previously, as a Digital Marketing/Alumni Affairs Coordinator at the University of South Carolina Beaufort, I honed my skills in campaign analysis and optimization. I utilized data-driven insights to enhance budget utilization and improve marketing strategies. My experience also includes financial management roles, where I ensured accuracy and compliance in accounting practices while supporting financial statement preparation.
