Experience in all aspects of marketing and graphic design, a self-starter able to work independently with interpersonal skills to thrive in a team environment. While working in a print shop during the day, began freelancing after Humber College and had a t-shirt design printed at a multi-national clothing company. Following that success I gained many worldwide clients and worked with LibreTees promoting open source softwares. Graduated to working with a marketing start-up. Ensured success of the marketing start-up through developing best practices, training the team, and phenomenal marketing campaigns, measuring analytics and KPIs and incorporating client feedback, subsequently being promoted to Creative Director.

Following that I left the team and was headhunted for a contract with CBRE as part of their marketing team. Ensured the success of my team until the pandemic caused budget cuts. I was then hired by a screen printing company called Traces and through dedication, expertise in marketing and research, and customer service was able to recover the company from it's negative growth and secure long-term high-value clients for the company.

In between positions I was able to freelance successfully and was hired on by a construction company to manage their office. Here I managed all aspects of the business from scheduling, liaising with workers, suppliers, and customers. I was head of sales, marketing, customer experience, and took a hands-on approach to help out on concrete pouring and finishing days as well. I singlehanded closed over 300k in sales in my final year and was recognized for two years in a row for excellence in customer service.

I'm now interested in using my skills and background to support a team in a full-time environment, instead of continuing to freelance.
