Biography
I have always been a natural learner. I love challenges and seek knowledge in all that I do and I find that when I keep this same curiosity-seeking drive, it follows my professional leads, injecting an intuitive and creative flair into the entire dynamic strategic process.
My focus is providing quality professional business support that speaks to the integrity of the company bio and brand. I also enjoy technology and am passionate about helping people keep their story relevant, keeping current through its use, and endeavoring to instill confidence in business potential through targeted growth analysis and practices.
To empower others to achieve tangible results is my goal as a Marketing Strategist. In my past work I have assisted in streamlining the user experience and design process. I remain fascinated by the team spirit we engaged in and our ability to move technology while heeding demand from idea to process, to delivering an end product that reached beyond expectation. For me, negotiating rough patches to hit the bullseye target on the project was a huge honour, deeply satisfying, and I will always be grateful for being a part of that team.
Some of my favourite collaborations include being part of an integral negotiating effort that culminated into contract fulfillment. That buyer/seller platform of weaving a relationship built on trust gained through skilled sparring with a competitive edge, I was impressed by the evolution of the deal from product to table. I find it extremely satisfying to bring success to a client through proven communicating skills. In fact, it is my goal as a professional in this ever-changing business landscape to continue to listen to the story behind the passion, assist and support clients in their navigations through the project and simply map the unchartered waters for them in the complex business world of today. Alongside the sometimes tedious or monumental tasks lies tangible, profitable results that translate into success, value and time for growth potential. If I can precisely engage and connect people either through technology and a combination of streamlined strategic prescriptions for results, then my work here is done!
