I'm a marketing student driving sales, customer service, and digital content.
EcuadorWhat I'm looking for
I'm pursuing a Marketing degree at Universidad Católica Santiago de Guayaquil, where I received an Academic Unit Award for the highest GPA in my degree program.
At Pelikan Stationery, I supported customers' purchasing decisions, processed payments, recorded daily sales, and maintained organized inventory. I also worked at Ellis Island Café in New York, translating between Spanish and English for tourists and helping customer lines move faster.
Most recently, I led registration desks and directed attendees at large-scale events with Esmadi, coordinating with protocol and security staff to keep operations efficient. I'm motivated to keep growing professionally while contributing strong communication, sales, customer service, and digital marketing skills.
