What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a part-time role that keeps me financially secure while I pursue my art and grow in social media marketing. I want a supportive team where I can use customer service, event work, and strong communication to perform well under pressure.

I’m a resourceful business owner with a strong foundation in performing arts and business management. I’ve built my approach around communication, leadership, and problem-solving to drive results in fast-paced environments.

Through my art business, I create and sell cartoon creations, keyrings, pins, stickers, and bookmarks—handling booking and promotion, maintaining my website, and posting on social media. I built my social accounts in 2020, starting with TikTok and Instagram cosplay and short-form videos, and grew to 1,600 followers on Instagram and over 75k on TikTok. I deliver strong customer service at events and coordinate helpers while managing stock.

I also bring hands-on team leadership experience, including running kitchen operations as a Kitchen team leader during staff shortages, completing opening/closing procedures, and improving productivity with efficient work schedules. I’ve supported sales by developing competitive quotes, following up to convert quotes to sales, and providing pre- and post-sales support.

My career goal is to expand into social media and marketing while pursuing my art professionally and traveling to sell my work. I’m calm under pressure, a fast learner, and I enjoy developing new skills through real-world experience and teamwork.
