Summary

Currently, as a Wellness Advisor at Trilogy Wellness, I have honed my ability to educate customers on the diverse benefits of cannabis products while providing exemplary service. My experience in a dispensary environment has not only deepened my understanding of cannabis but has also equipped me with the skills to communicate effectively with clients and maintain positive relationships. I thrive on the opportunity to engage with customers and share my knowledge, aligning perfectly with your requirement for someone who can interact with audience members at events.


Additionally, my role at Cricket Wireless as a Sales Associate has refined my organizational skills and ability to manage logistics. I have consistently met sales goals while ensuring a welcoming atmosphere for customers, which I believe is crucial for any marketing effort. My experience with photography and attention to detail further enable me to create compelling content, an essential aspect of the marketing responsibilities outlined in your job posting.
