What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my social media expertise and sales skills in a dynamic environment, with opportunities for growth and collaboration.

I'm a passionate Restaurant Social Media Strategist and Entrepreneur with over two years of experience in high-ticket sales, having successfully closed deals exceeding $90k. My journey began with building and managing my own Social Media Marketing Agency (SMMA), where I honed my skills in client acquisition, team management, and content creation. I have a proven track record of working with major brands as a brand ambassador and have developed a keen understanding of social media strategies that drive engagement and growth.

Currently, I am co-owning a Shopify store and running an AI-generated TikTok and YouTube channel called Popcorn Series AI. My experience includes working as a Junior Sales Partner at Apex Energy Solutions, where I generated over $106k in revenue within the first week through innovative SMS marketing strategies. I thrive in dynamic environments and am always eager to learn and adapt to new challenges.
