I am particularly adept at creating project strategy and leading cross functional teams. I am passionate about helping brands create long-term value through creative marketing strategies and social impact business models. A self-starter by nature, I\'ve demonstrated an excellent ability to deliver results, find creative solutions to unique business challenges, and create process in unstructured environments. Over the course of my career I’ve worked in all types of companies, from small startups and to large international organizations.My drive for continuous learning led me to purse my MBA at UCLA Anderson.
