What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated professional with a strong background in marketing and sales, having served as the Head of Marketing and Sales at Avalon Forge Craft for over four years. During my tenure, I successfully established e-commerce as a significant revenue stream, achieving a remarkable 200% increase in total sales revenue and an 800% increase in website traffic. My role involved not only sales but also social media marketing, administration, and customer service, where I honed my skills in graphic and web design, photography, and videography.
In addition to my professional experience, I have a passion for teaching and coaching, currently serving as a Performance Coach for the University of Derby Climbing and Mountaineering Society. My ability to communicate effectively and teach beginners has been a rewarding aspect of my career. I hold a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Derby, which complements my practical skills in programming, digital photography, and e-commerce.
