SUMMARY & OBJECTIVE
I am a web designer and social media marketer eager to dedicate myself to a prominent role on a
marketing team where I can contribute to the success of a company’s online campaigns.
A product of both technical and creative backgrounds, my work is creative, precise and punctual. I am an effective verbal communicator with both writing and editing experience, and I am at home in a team environment. Having pursued leadership training for a decade, I’ve excelled at opportunities as a small-business owner, creative director, and social media campaign manager.
Thank you for your consideration!
