What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative environment, and the chance to apply my skills in marketing and management.

I am an innovative and motivated individual with a passion for business management and marketing. My journey has equipped me with a diverse skill set, including exceptional communication, problem-solving, and teamwork abilities. I thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy meeting new people, which has allowed me to build a strong network and enhance my interpersonal skills.

Throughout my career, I have gained valuable experience in various roles, from direct marketing to talent acquisition. My time at Ventas Central taught me the importance of effective communication and leadership, while my role at TSG Building Services honed my customer satisfaction and planning skills. I am currently pursuing a Master's in Business Management & Marketing, aiming to further develop my expertise and contribute to a dynamic team.
