I am a motivated and versatile professional with a strong background in web development, digital marketing, and charitable work. Raised in a poor home by a single mother, I understand the challenges of struggling to make ends meet. My core value of helping people was instilled in me by my mother, and it drives everything I do.
My journey took a significant turn in December 2019 when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. I cared for her until her passing on July 2, 2021. This experience profoundly impacted me and motivated me to preserve her memories and honor the lessons she taught me by creating a lasting legacy. This legacy is focused on supporting families through grief and providing essential charitable services in her memory.
As a caregiver advocate, I have experience in supporting families through grief as well as experiencing it personally. My work experience includes roles at a memory care facility, where I firsthand observed the challenges of caring for patients with dementia and Alzheimer's. This, combined with my personal journey, has inspired me to dedicate my life to supporting others through compassionate support and practical guidance.
I am proficient in utilizing various software, including Adobe Suite, Microsoft Suite, RoomSketcher, HomeDesigner, EZ-Check, Blender, NetBeans, Visual Studio, Zoom, and TeamViewer. I am also skilled in digital marketing, web development, A/B testing, and client engagement.
Team Management: Understanding the strengths and weaknesses of each team member allows me to apply their strengths effectively to benefit the project at hand, using Lean Management Principles and Project Management.
Research: I possess the ability to quickly identify and present necessary information to yield the best results, adapting and growing as needed.
Creativity: My passion for imagining new opportunities and designing concepts has been a strength since childhood. I consider myself blessed with this skill.
Brainstorming and Innovative Thinking: I always find a way to think outside the box and come up with effective solutions based on personal knowledge and observations from others.
Tech Development and Marketing A/B Testing: My IT background in Front End Development and marketing expertise allows me to navigate the dynamic intersection of A/B testing for pages and advertising to optimize customer outcomes.
I attended Colorado Technical University Online, where I completed a BA in IT focused on Web Design and am currently pursuing a Masters in Business Administration focused on Finance. My academic achievements include a cumulative GPA of 3.97.
As a results-focused and strategic Virtual Marketing Specialist, I offer a unique combination of business acumen and prospect engagement skills. I inspire and motivate potential clients to take action through market research and outreach across various platforms. This is outside of what I do with my nonprofit goals, with everything aimed towards helping individuals and businesses do better.
