As a life enthusiast, I have always dreamed of becoming a chief marketing officer for an international fashion brand one day, and I plan on not stopping until I make it a reality. Because, if there is one lesson I’ve learned is to dream big and fight for my dreams. Over the past few years, I worked as a sales specialist/manager at Nordstrom and as a Marketing/ public relations associate for one of the oldest non-profit organizations in Chicago called The Chicago Lighthouse. As a sales specialist/manager at Nordstrom, I tapped into my creativity, used the data and technology to not only guide my team but also solve problems across disciplines. I developed, nurtured strong leads, and built amazing lifelong relationships while achieving my quotas. After my bachelor's in International Marketing, I transitioned into the non-profit sector to gain experience in marketing but also give back to my community. I worked closely with the Chief Executive Officer, public relations, and marketing directors. I assisted in executing campaigns, developed copy to all social media platforms, created, edited video content, and also developed strategies for donors to support The Chicago Lighthouse's cause of serving people who are blind and visually impaired. I am always learning, always growing, always trying new things. But I believe my ability to grow has led me into following my dreams and passion by pursuing an MBA in Luxury Brand Management. I one day hope to lead, inspire, and empower so many others through my experience to keep fighting for their dreams and passion.
