I supported partnership collaborations through pitch deck preparation, meeting coordination, and relationship management. Working in fast-moving environments strengthened my resilience, adaptability, and ability to deliver project requirements under tight deadlines. I’m eager to venture into roles that incorporate creative strategy, partnership building, and process improvement.…Over the past two years, I’ve supported operations for newly built initiatives within the events and entertainment space, coordinating work across vendors, partners, and creative teams, including designers, videographers, photographers, and content creators.
