RESUME

Professional Summary

I have a natural curiosity and passion that drive me to continually seek new challenges, embracing them as opportunities for growth and learning. I was raised in a family of entrepreneurs, thus innovation comes naturally to me. I am always seeking more creative and expansive solutions to challenges in all areas of my life whether it is how to better organize a team project at work, how to identify and generate new revenue streams or how to create strategic partnerships. Through both my work experience and leadership training, I have learned the importance of encouraging collaboration and soliciting input from all stakeholders in key decision-making.

I have worked for Cisco for +3 years while also running my company Byte Wipes. I value the knowledge I have gained from working with seasoned industry professionals at Cisco paired with my creative, innovative outlet of Byte Wipes. Both are completely unique work experiences: one where I focus on strategy & finance and the other where I run sales, branding & marketing. This one-of-a-kind combination makes me an asset in any work environment given my unique experiences and perspective.
