As a natural-born entrepreneur with a passion for creative side projects, I thrive on staying engaged and constantly challenging myself. My entrepreneurial spirit was especially ignited during the quarantine in 2020 when I built an e-commerce brand from scratch—with zero capital. In just 6 months, I generated $40,000+ in revenue with a 60% profit margin, leveraging TikTok and influencer marketing as key growth drivers.As a current undergraduate student, my education extends beyond the classroom—I seize every opportunity to learn, grow, and contribute. Notably, I am a content creator with 50K followers and over 15M views on TikTok (@riz.com), and I lead Loyola's undergraduate entrepreneurship club, Next Founders, fostering a community of ambitious, like-minded individuals.Professionally, I’ve honed my skills through various roles. At Trend-Z, a marketing agency focused on TikTok and Gen-Z engagement, I crafted and managed an influencer program from the ground up, aiding brands in resonating with younger, tech-savvy audiences through authentic content.This past summer, I furthered my corporate experience as a Sales Coordinator Intern at Teads in Chicago. With the guidance of incredible mentors, I was entrusted to craft tailored responses to agency briefs, and utilize Salesforce to maintain a 95% pipeline accuracy. I was consistently encouraged to explore the ‘why’ behind our strategies, and deeply engage with the business context behind them. This experience not only refined my technical skills but also cultivated a profound sense of purpose and enthusiasm for my work in the field of sales and marketing.As I approach my graduation in May 2024, I am eager to apply these skills in a tech-focused sales role.
