OBJECTIVE

I am a motivated individual with experiences that include client relationship management, retention, and expansion while maintaining a track record of growth and success. I strive every day to become a better version of myself and to make a positive impact on the world around me. My adaptable working style allows me to collaborate with others in order to accomplish whatever goal is set before me. I value the effectiveness of every Marketing space, creative forms to automated emails, as equally important when used properly, and in the right ways, with the right methodologies. Aside from success, I acknowledge that every individual has specific talents, and when understood, assimilated, worked-upon and directed suitably, these are what create effective, creative, co-collaborative, and most importantly, successful teams and institutions.

PERSONAL SUMMARY

I graduated from the University of Leeds a B.A. in Business Management & History of Art, Minors in Advanced Advertising, Social Networking & Social Ventures within Business, Digital Information, Advanced Entrepreneurialship, Leadership in Business, and Economic Controversies.

As a young professional, I am a self-starter and a diligent, independent learner, equipped to deliver at a high level. I am dynamic, an effective communicator, work well as a team member and am enthusiastic and determined to succeed, an essential in a competitive, high-stress, fast-moving, creative environment. I have a strong entrepreneurial outlook and a passion for business and innovation, persistently striving for excellence through self-development and hard work. From my work experience I have a gained a solid understanding of business principles and social culture and am keen to operate in an environment which brings these together.

As an example of taking my own initiative within the entrepreneurial industry I have worked diligently with an events marketing start-up called, Type. Within the venture, I have adapted to the opportunities of acquiring the methodologies and information, through the various classes represented, to maintain personal financial prowess and success. The business has provided the opportunity for me to assimilate and provide this information to clientele in an equipped, professional, and educated manor. With the addition of this, I worked consecutively with a marketing specialist to develop various marketing campaigns, using technologies such as Facebook Analytics, Google analytics, and Email marketing strategies, assuming the role to developing and producing the content to make it admirable to the customer, using Adobe products, such as Adobe Premiere and Adobe After Effects. I would love to use this knowledge as well as my work experience to work with a company within the ever-expanding Tech industry.
Having lived in Austin in my early childhood I am connected to the ‘Keep Austin Weird’ culture which is remarkably still prominent in a rapidly expanding city, as it grows from a laid back, hippy town known for music to a giant, corporate tech city (with Google, Facebook, Amazon, Oracle, Apple, and many others setting up shop) which I believe is fast becoming the next Silicon Valley with an edgy culture. The reason for moving back to my hometown is not only the trending mecca of young, progressive America right now, but it’s also the biggest hub of location independent entrepreneurs in the U.S.; where lots of prominent entrepreneurs have set up there and more are moving there every month therefore consistently challenging and progressing one another which is an environment I feel I can thrive in.
