Global Travel and Professional Development

June 2023- September 2024

I worked a three month Summer season in Aspen, Colorado as well as a five month Winter season in Meribel, France. Thereafter, I travelled extensively across North America, Europe and Southeast Asia for 14 months, which was instrumental in shaping my perspective and skills. Immersing myself in diverse cultures allowed me to develop a nuanced understanding of global consumer behaviour, cultural sensitivities and market trends. This experience has enhanced my ability to think out of the box, adapt rapidly to change as well as communicate cross-culturally. I believe that these skills will be key assets for pursuing a permanent role in the marketing industry. 

Job description:

  • Ensure that customers are completely satisfied with the level of service being delivered
  • Act as project coordinator, for my team in a fast-paced work environment
  • Work closely with high profile clients to develop an understanding of their volatile needs and wants and to follow up with a strategic plan to fulfill their varying demands and expectations
  • Develop creative, 'out of the box' ideas to maintain client satisfaction and asses performance for continuous improvement
