Manager Marketing

Saida E. Barker New York, NY 917-***-**** ***********@*****.***

Born and raised in Bogota, Colombia and attending bi-lingual schools,

I came to New York City in 2004 to study Foreign Affairs and Finance

at NYU (Naturalized US Citizen: 2011). Three years ago I reentered the

workforce full-time after 5 years as a stay-at-home mom to 2 girls;

all the while freelancing as a Spanish teacher for financial

institutions through Berlitz and completing a NYU certificate program.

I am an active, focused, responsible person who has high standards for

work ethic and carries a broad global perspective. Aligning my

experience as a researcher, designer, planner, and culturist with a

progressive team who has a passion for doing great work is my goal.
