About
Currently pursuing a Bachelor of Business Administration at Pace University, I am a driven individual with a strong foundation in business management. My journey began at Green Hope High School, followed by Crossroads FLEX High School, where I honed my leadership skills. As the founder and director of HEART4CAD, I successfully raised over $90,000 for the American Heart Association, demonstrating my commitment to community service and advocacy. My professional experience includes roles as a Sales Development Representative at Swagger Sales, a Business Development Specialist at Educere LLC, and an Operations Team Member at Rocket Club. These positions allowed me to develop expertise in client engagement, lead generation, and marketing strategies. Additionally, my internship at HypeSGD provided valuable insights into digital marketing and brand management. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive business growth and make a positive impact in the community.
