Technical Support Specialist at Prometheus Group
Technical Support Specialist at Prometheus Group
Highly ambitious and driven recent graduate and small business owner. I graduated in August 2021 with a B.A. in Psychology, a B.S. Fashion and Textile Management (concentration in Brand Management and Marketing), and a minor in Spanish.

I have unique experience owning and operating my own retail business, Paws for a Cause, LLC IV, that has given me insights into all the different parts of a business, from design and marketing, to financial records and inventory, and building my own e-commerce website. I also worked with Wellistic as a Marketing Intern for 2 1/2 years. Wellistic is start-up here in Raleigh, NC offering a way for members to connect with friends and family to find the right health providers for their needs and learn who their loved ones trust. Working with Wellistic has allowed me to see another company take off and grow and be part of this growth through finding new ways of reaching our community.
