Marlena Grenier

I'm a seven-time published romance and fantasy author, a survivalist camper, and music geek. Thus far in my career, I have enjoyed positions in communications, hospitality, and business management. I have handled emergency and crisis situations and liaised with local and provincial governments to overcome unfair/unfounded business restrictions. 

Over the past year, I enrolled in certificate programs, excelling and earning numerous. I believe in continued education. 

I'm excited for you to review my CV. 

As a self-motivated, performance-driven, and dedicated communications professional, I thrive in a fast-paced environment with constant activity, concurrent projects, and tight deadlines.

I am detail-oriented with an unmatched work ethic and skill set. I created successful marketing and communication copy/strategies for not one, but thousands of organizations across multiple industries, utilizing traditional and emerging mediums to surpass ROI and KPI targets.

Exceptionally organized? Spreadsheets are my addiction. Communication skills? One million words published in novels and Canadian newspapers. Program/medium savvy? Tremendous experience in software and platforms.

I flourish when presented with key performance indicators and tangible goals, often guiding others to overcome the challenges they face to accomplish the same. In previous positions, I achieved managerial responsibilities with a collaborative approach and accumulated a long track record of accomplishments.

Furthermore, my extensive communication and marketing background ensures I meet each project with creative solutions.

I am currently seeking employment in Edmonton, Alberta and can start immediately. I have attached my CV, which only demonstrates my experience relevant to your organization's open role. Should you wish to see a detailed list of my entire employment history, including business administration, hospitality, and sales, I can provide it forthwith.

Sincerely,
