What I'm looking for

I am looking for leadership roles that foster growth, creativity, and strategic impact.

I am a results-driven and highly adaptable professional with over 6 years of experience in retail management, marketing coordination, executive assistance, and sales. My proven track record includes exceeding sales goals, leading teams, and building strong customer relationships. I have a strong background in digital marketing and scheduling coordination, complemented by a creative eye for merchandising and brand development.

Currently, I serve as a Remote Executive Assistant & Coordinator at Digitalized Elevation, where I manage executive calendars, client scheduling, and internal team coordination. My role involves conducting cold calls, booking consultations, and supporting recruiting and onboarding for new hires. I take pride in acting as a right-hand support to the CEO, ensuring workflow alignment and handling daily priorities.

Previously, I excelled as a Crystal Expert/Key Holder at Swarovski, where I ranked as the top seller with $85K in sales in under 4 months. My experience also includes managing kiosk operations at Icredible Toys and providing administrative support at the University of Texas-San Antonio. I am now seeking leadership roles in retail and marketing where my strategic mindset and operational expertise can drive business growth.
