About

I approach work and life with both curiosity, creativity & a data-driven, goal-oriented, analytical mindset. With a degree in Psychology and ~4 years of experience across marketing, sales/account management and development, and events in both small business and fast paced tech environments, I excel at building relationships, solving problems, and taking initiative. I am passionate about improving prospect and customer experiences, optimizing sales workflow and processes, driving revenue growth, and collaborating cross-functionally. On a personal note, growing up as a first-generation immigrant - I learned resilience and a strong work ethic from my parents. Witnessing their efforts to build a life in Canada remains a professional motivator and inspiration to me today. Outside of work, I am interested in: 💸 Personal finance & real estate ✈️ Travel (14 countries so far and always looking forward to my next adventure) 💡 Personal growth/development 🏃‍♀️ Running, weightlifting, and hot yoga (stress management is key!) I’m always open to connecting with fellow professionals. Feel free to reach out! 😊
