## About Me

Currently I am a merchandise specialist for Staples US Retail.

I'm passionate about culture and global studies and am lucky enough to have experience living and working abroad in a business setting. I am also passionate about traveling, food, art and love trying new things!

Over my four years at Bryant I have perfected my written and verbal communication skills through presentations, business plans, case analysis, etc. Classes like Digital MKT Analytics and Business to Business MKT have also given me insight to the innovative metrics that are offered in 2023 and how to utilize those for marketing to consumers and companies!

Friendly atmosphere, motivating team dynamic, and innovation are a few traits I value in an organization.
