Fusing my marketing expertise, drive for research, fervor for analytics, and love for writing, I strive to excel where I can apply my business acumen.  I have three passions: research and marketing, organization, and conflict and resolution.  

I have over a decade of experience in the marketing and advertising industry as a program manager. I have trained oversees teams, which taught a valuable lesson in cultural sensitivity and multi-tasking. My management increased sales revenue and email resources by 30% for three companies across four continents. It all boils down to corporate and competitive intelligence.  My interest in research beautifully synthesizes my strong background in business as well as my relentless attention to detail. After working in the marketing industry, I transferred my skillset to the medical device industry to improve customer relations and overhaul their branding strategy for a revitalized marketing campaign. 

After earning my MBA degree from in 2015, I am currently pursuing my doctorate in conflict analysis and resolution.  My years as a student have instilled a love for writing and research. I have years of experience conducting literature reviews, academic research, and grant proposals. I have a lifelong experience in the academic field, where I learned to read and think critically as well as synthesize my thoughts on paper. This taught me a valuable lesson in teamwork, communication, and self-discipline.  

While a graduate student assistant, I administered detailed and consistent academic research, all vital to the faculty and department. While in business school, I perfected my writing and presentation skills by conducting research papers and case studies, which received high accolades from my professors. This afforded me the opportunity to work on multiple group projects, which I managed and delegated tasks for a winning grade. My commitment to teamwork and ease of working independently is quality of which I am most proud. 

I am highly methodical and have excellent organizational skills. I have worked over a decade with c-level executives in a wide capacity of administrative and supportive functions. Communicating with customers while cultivating a thriving relationship is one of the most fulfilling aspects of positive business development.  Not only do I enjoy administrative detail-oriented tasks, but I also enjoy proofreading and copyediting, as I am a huge grammar enthusiast. 

Efficient when working independently, I can also delegate and perform in a team setting, where I will meet deadlines and execute.  Most importantly, I care about finding solutions and recommendations to arduous problems. If my methodology contributes to even the smallest corner of peace in the world, then I have done my job.  Having traveled throughout the Middle East and Europe and lived abroad, I am vehement about international politics and affairs. My ideal is to thrive in a milieu where I can apply my background and passion for social justice to empower and educate the global community from my little (remote) corner of my desk.
