Accomplishments

During my 6-month tenure working under a government grant, I successfully closed a deal valued at approximately $80K, which resulted in a profit of over $20K—nearly 25% of the total deal value. This profit was reinvested directly into the business to enhance its fundamentals and operational efficiency.

In addition to this achievement, I had the opportunity to expand my professional network by connecting with numerous business professionals. These interactions provided invaluable insights into how various teams operate, giving me firsthand experience with business strategies and best practices.

Throughout this period, I significantly expanded my technical skill set, mastering advanced features in software programs such as Excel and Adobe Photoshop. I leveraged these skills to run marketing campaigns, improve data analysis, and create visual assets, which contributed to the business’s growth and overall success.
