Available starting May 2014
Hi, FlyerTalkers! I'm an MBA candidate in an English-language program in Nice, France. I will be available for full-time work starting in May 2014 (the program ends in June, but May and June are for short-term placements, internships, consulting gigs, theses, or commencement of full-time employment, so I can start as early as the first week of May). I am a U.S. citizen willing to work just about anywhere in the world that isn't an active war zone. I am open to as much as 100% travel.
For the past 10 years, I have been a communications professional. I spent about half that time in newspapers and half in online B2B communications. I also have a lot of experience in social media management. I am getting an MBA (740 GMAT) in order to shore up my quantitative skills and gain more experience working in international and cross-cultural teams. English is my native language, and I know it inside and out; furthermore, I am fluent in "business English" (i.e. English that can be easily understood by non-native speakers) thanks to my international experience. I speak moderate French and limited Spanish, and my French is improving daily. I am an excellent writer and editor. I'm good with technology and eager to learn new skills. I am particularly interested in the wine and spirits industry and retail/luxury, but I will take a position in any industry if the role is right.
Please PM me if you are interested. I would be happy to send you my LinkedIn profile or e-mail you my CV. Thanks!
