At Hostify, I drive new business development for a vacation rental management software platform, identifying and converting hospitality prospects. I demonstrate the product, support onboarding, and build partnerships around clients’ operational goals.

As a Market Manager at Booking.com, I recruited lodging partners and helped expand the market. I worked with hotels, vacation rentals, tourism organizations, and hotel associations to promote Booking.com’s reservation technology.

At St. Louis Post-Dispatch, I managed strategic advertising accounts and developed integrated campaigns for business clients. Strategic sales initiatives increased account revenue and market share by 70% within six months.
