Career Profile: I have 5 years of extensive experience succeeding in high pressure conditions, finding and implementing practical solutions to marketing and sales problems. I have varied experience in direct sales and marketing which demonstrates an ability to gain working knowledge before developing and implementing larger strategic policies. My strength lies in my ability to parlay my experience in my various roles into a well-rounded music, sales professional, and providing tangible both art and sales solutions. I have a demonstrated ability to perform multiple roles such as, principal direct sales management as well as people management honed through ‘on-the-job’ training. My time at Saladmaster International, Thornhill Primary School, Jack and Jill nursery school and Care Outlook has given me a thorough understanding of team work, research, report writing, corporate analysis and sales/ marketing management as well as corporate governance and client relationship management. In my current role, I have acquired extensive skills in corporate communication, direct sales management and marketing analysis.

Professional Objective: To pursue a career in direct sales/ marketing and music business management. My personal goal is to ensure efficiency in all the work I produce, as well as the highest level of diligence in all my output. My vision does not end with being simply an operation professional, as I continue to self-actualize through my myriad pursuits outside of the workplace.
