What I'm looking for
I am a strategic operations, branding, and user acquisition leader with over 8 years of experience in building and optimizing systems across multi-site, cross-functional environments. My extensive background in digital marketing, branding, SEO optimization, and Facebook Ads has equipped me with the skills to drive customer acquisition effectively. I have a proven track record of success in remote-first and tech-enabled organizations, where I have managed budgets exceeding $200K and led teams of over 100 staff members while maintaining a retention rate of over 95%.
Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including scaling a distributed institution from 1 to 3 campuses and growing the student base by 300%. I directed digital transformation initiatives and CRM implementations that cut response times by 40%, and I have successfully reduced operating costs by 25-50% through vendor negotiation and workflow optimization. My focus on aligning operational efficiency with business goals has been instrumental in fostering a strong organizational culture and achieving high employee engagement.
