What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can combine my passion for building relationships with my skills in sales, marketing, and customer engagement. I value opportunities for growth, collaboration, and learning, where I can contribute to team success while expanding my expertise. A positive, innovative culture that values professional development and impact would be the perfect fit.

I’m a relationship-focused professional with experience across marketing, business development, CRM strategy, content creation, and entrepreneurship. Over the years, I’ve worked in roles involving customer engagement, lead generation, event coordination, outbound prospecting, and digital marketing while also building and growing my own online brands.

I have hands-on experience with platforms like HubSpot, Salesforce, Google Analytics, Databox, Canva, WordPress, and ZoomInfo, and I enjoy finding ways to blend creativity with strategy to create meaningful customer experiences and strong brand presence. I’ve spent several years working with HubSpot specifically, including onboarding, automation, CRM management, and campaign support.

In addition to my professional experience, I’m also the founder of a growing digital brand where I create content, manage e-commerce operations, develop digital products, and oversee social media strategy across multiple platforms. Through this, I’ve gained experience in branding, SEO, affiliate marketing, content strategy, audience growth, and online sales.

I recently completed my Bachelor’s degree in Applied Management from Franklin University, graduating Magna Cum Laude. I’m passionate about roles that allow me to combine communication, organization, creativity, and relationship-building while continuing to grow professionally in marketing, sales, customer success, partnerships, or brand-focused roles.

I thrive in fast-paced environments, learn quickly, and genuinely enjoy connecting with people, solving problems, and contributing to teams that value both strategy and authenticity.
