About me

Hi... I am an inspired person who wants to break through the barriers of everyday life and fill this world with more than just new ideas. I adapt easily and am a strategic thinker who thrives off problem solving and idea generation. I am curious and will never turn down a challenge or an opportunity to extend my scope and knowledge. My open minded, positive attitude towards everything in life helps motivate and drive team members around me. I excel in curating successful strategic partnerships with both vendors and clients interests at mind. Over the years I have strengthened my ability to captivate an audience with persuasive story telling. I have moved to London to take the next step in my career and apply my global experiences in the UK market. My results-oriented attitude along with a drive to exceeding client expectations are some of the reasons I will be an invaluable asset to your team.
