I'm a curious, growth-driven professional exploring opportunities in corporate roles, sales, and customer-facing environments. I'm inspired by learning about different cultures, mindsets, and communication styles, and I try to integrate these perspectives into the way I work and connect with others. Between 2021-2023, I ran a small scented candle project where I practiced marketing, branding, and customer communication, which helped me understand people, their needs, and how to deliver value creatively. Since 2023, my focus has been on building a long-term career, and travel has played a big part in shaping who I am. My experience in the United States strengthened my adaptability and collaboration with diverse backgrounds. I'm always looking for opportunities to grow, contribute, and develop both professionally and personally.
