What I'm looking for

I seek a role combining marketing and people management where I can lead teams, develop promotions, and grow operational skills in a collaborative environment.

I am a motivated, detail-oriented professional blending marketing skills with a strong understanding of people and proven leadership from managing teams in fast-paced retail and restaurant environments. I have overseen daily operations, scheduled and trained staff, managed labor costs and inventory, and created promotions that increased sales.

I bring hands-on customer-service experience, POS and payment processing knowledge, and practical digital-design skills (Canva) to support marketing initiatives and operational excellence. I am eager to leverage my management experience and academic background in psychology and marketing to grow in a role that combines customer insight, team leadership, and promotion strategy.
