I have a passion for helping international students access the products and services they need to study in the US. As a product manager at Shorelight, I lead the development and growth of our virtual marketplace, where we showcase and sell solutions from our trusted vendors. With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, brand management, and home care industries, I have a deep understanding of customer needs, preferences, and expectations across diverse markets and segments.In my current role, I use my skills in new business development, outside sales, cold calling, negotiation, and interpersonal communication to build strategic partnerships with companies that offer housing, communication, transportation, food services, and other solutions for our students. I also have a certificate in marketing strategy from Cornell University, which helps me design and implement effective campaigns to attract students to our platform. I am proud to be part of a team that drives revenue, enhances student satisfaction, and supports Shorelight's mission of creating life-changing experiences for learners around the world.
