What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a client-facing business development role where I can build meaningful relationships, contribute to business growth, and bring my experience in stakeholder engagement and partnerships.

At GDG Bowen University Chapter, I conceived, planned, and led ELEVATE, a technology-focused event. I managed relationships with 6 speakers, secured 3 partnerships, and coordinated a 23-member team and 30 volunteers to deliver an event attended by 130 people.

As a Product Design Intern at Babcock University, I contributed to redesigning the undergraduate application portal to improve usability and accessibility. I also collaborated on Torel, a multi-service logistics platform, using React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Figma.
