What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can leverage sales and social media expertise to grow brand engagement, manage campaigns, and take on client-facing responsibilities with opportunities for professional growth.

I am a customer-focused sales and social media professional with experience across retail, promotions, real estate, events, and education.

I have driven in-person and B2B sales, promoted leading consumer brands, and managed social media content and campaigns to increase reach and conversions.

I coordinate events end-to-end, engage partners and vendors to ensure attendee safety, and support operational tasks as a personal assistant and sales development representative.

I tutor primary learners in English, develop tailored learning materials, and manage client relationships, demonstrating patience, adaptability, and strong communication skills.
