What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead events, grow student/community initiatives, and apply marketing and operational skills in a collaborative, impact-driven environment.

I am a driven student founder and organizer with hands-on experience launching Nixor Culinary Arts and leading cross-functional teams to deliver large-scale events and partnerships. I combine strategic planning, marketing, and operations skills to execute initiatives that engage thousands of students and form sustainable student-run ventures.

Throughout my college activities I have secured sponsorships, directed social media campaigns, managed event logistics for 1300+ attendees, and overseen a 15-person executive team. I bring leadership, creativity, and strong communication to roles that require idea generation, execution under pressure, and stakeholder collaboration.
