Curious, growth-driven professional exploring opportunities in corporate roles, sales, and customer-facing environments. Between 2021–2023, I ran a small scented candle project where I actively practiced marketing, branding, and customer communication. Since 2023, my focus has shifted toward building a long-term career. I enjoy learning about different cultures, mindsets, and communication styles, and I try to integrate these perspectives into the way I work and connect with others. Traveling plays a big part in who I am, including having worked in the United States. I’m always looking for opportunities that allow me to grow, contribute, and develop both professionally and personally. If my profile resonates with what you’re looking for, I’d be happy to connect!
