#OpenToWork
As a Marketing & Technology Coordinator at JBGoodwin REALTORS, I combined my technology and IT support skills with my marketing and media experiences to help over 800 independent agents grow their businesses and stand out from the competition. I managed and updated various marketing and technology tools, such as Design Center, online listing flipbooks, and client newsletter campaigns, to enable agents to personalize and adapt their marketing materials. I also activated and set up agent websites using WordPress through our CRM, and support customization when needed.
I graduated from Texas Tech University in 2020 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Communication and Media Strategies and Electronic Media. I am currently pursuing multiple IT certifications to enhance my knowledge and skills in the growing internet, technology, cyber, IT, and media industries. I am also the founder and owner of Honkenbonkers, LLC, a web-based business that promotes a newly coined word, “Honkenbonkers”, which was recognized by a linguist and a Wall Street Journal reporter as a “Word to Watch in 2015”. I am passionate about entrepreneurship, creativity, and innovation, and I aim to continue to grow and utilize my tech and media skills in ways that add value and make a positive impact.
