OBJECTIVE SUMMARY
I am a professional marketing & social media manager, promotions director, event planner, and nightclub manager. However, I possess industry experience far beyond the job description for the positions I have held. I am currently seeking professional opportunities that will challenge my experience and skill set, while also stimulating my mind and work ethic in ways that will encourage personal and professional growth.
I believe my transferable skills would be an asset to your business growth strategy, and I would like to request that you consider a personal interview upon review of my professional experience.
