  • Jun 2022 - Present

  I have entered a new chapter at Bucket Listers with one word coming to mind - Leadership. I'll be taking on new responsibilities as a team manager while working closely with the leadership team to execute on our vision, to inspire experiences.Daily tasks will still include prospecting, negotiating and growing marketplace and media deal structures for the BD team. The overall focus is to think bigger, finding partners that fit our long term vision for the company.Communication is one of the top things I value. Being a small team, it's vital to work smoothly with other teams included operations, content, brand partnerships and the leadership team. That communication extends out of the workspace by talking common interests: travel, entrepreneurship, food/best restaurants and of course, the big dreams on each of our bucket lists. Show less
