Summary
I am an organized and curious self-starter with a desire to always learn. I enjoy working alongside teams with diverse skills to creatively complete difficult tasks, but can also thrive working alone. With a decade of experience working in retail combined with over 2 years experience in business and brand strategy for companies including international brand consultancy Landor and Oxford University's Saïd business school, I am looking for a workplace environment to apply my skills and experience that pushes me to become a better professional than I was yesterday.
