What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level marketing or program role where I can apply analytics-driven campaign strategy, lead cross-functional teams, and optimize processes for measurable impact.

I am an MBA candidate with hands-on experience designing end-to-end marketing campaigns, coordinating cross-functional workflows, and using data to drive operational improvements. I bring a disciplined, creative, and analytical approach to marketing execution with a human-first mindset, demonstrated by streamlining inventory and communication systems at a large horticulture firm and leading educational programs that balanced logistics, safety, and participant outcomes.

Across nonprofit and private sectors I have led teams, managed budgets and schedules, and translated complex concepts for diverse audiences. I seek roles that leverage my strengths in campaign planning, performance measurement, stakeholder engagement, and process optimization to deliver measurable impact.
