What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a growth-focused marketing or communications role to drive customer acquisition, implement data-driven strategies, lead cross-functional campaigns, and expand into broader leadership within a collaborative, mission-driven team.

I am a results-driven marketing and sales professional with 7+ years' experience across publishing, education and service sectors, skilled in merchant acquisition, POS merchant onboarding, CRM, sales strategy and market research. At Pen-Impact I increased customer base and sales by 45% within 3 months and earlier roles boosted customer patronage by 60% and engagement by 70% through targeted campaigns.

I develop sales-driven strategies that promote cross-selling of services, strengthen stakeholder and community engagement, and deliver customized business solutions; I hold certifications such as CRMP and HRMP and am pursuing a Professional Diploma in Data Analytics to inform data-driven marketing and growth initiatives.
