What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters creativity and collaboration, with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dedicated marketing manager with extensive experience in public relations and archiving. Since 2022, I have led the public relations department at Ueyakato Landscape Co., Ltd., overseeing media relations and website renovations while managing hiring and training new employees. My role has allowed me to produce a variety of public relations materials, including newsletters and academic writings, which have significantly enhanced our communication strategies.

Prior to my current position, I worked as a florist and store manager at HEAVEN DUO Co., Ltd., where I developed a sales management system for bridal projects and streamlined operations through effective data management. My journey began as an HR consultant, where I achieved a remarkable 120% growth rate in sales for two consecutive years. I am passionate about leveraging my diverse experiences to improve workflow efficiency and drive business success.
