I am a CRM and Marketing Automation specialist helping businesses turn disconnected tools into a unified, revenue-driving system. I specialize in CRM platforms, Zapier automation, Klaviyo marketing systems, and Workday integrations to align marketing, sales, and operational workflows. I design and implement scalable CRM systems including contacts, pipelines, workflows, automation, and reporting. My focus is on building a clean single source of truth that helps teams manage leads, track opportunities, and improve visibility across the customer journey. With deep expertise in Klaviyo, I build high-converting email and SMS ecosystems including welcome series, abandoned cart flows, browse abandonment, win-back campaigns, and advanced customer segmentation strategies that drive measurable revenue. Using Zapier, I connect platforms and automate repetitive processes between CRM, marketing, finance, HR, and operational tools. From lead routing and notifications to data synchronization and custom workflow automation, I create systems that reduce manual effort and improve efficiency. I also bridge enterprise systems by integrating Workday with CRM and marketing platforms through APIs, automation, and reporting workflows. This enables seamless data flow between HR, finance, and customer systems while improving reporting accuracy and decision-making. I build end-to-end automation ecosystems combining CRM, integrations, reporting, and marketing automation, giving businesses complete visibility into performance, ROI, and growth opportunities.
