Cam Davies::Professional

Hi,
I'm a young and experienced sales, marketing and communications professional developing my creativity, dedication and productivity to build my career. With my skills, I have helped grow business and enhance consumer experiences. I have a passion for communication in all forms of media and pride myself in staying up-to-date with communication trends, products and services.

Through my work experience, I have practiced and honed my communication skills. I have written and presented information and research to large groups of people, developed rapport and sold products to many professional contacts, participated in and led business negotiations to the satisfaction of my employer and my client, and contributed to multiple team objectives.

In my spare time, I tinker with the Adobe Creative Suite and the Microsoft Office Suite. I self educate in web design and construction, read books for interest and career, and get active with my Golden Retriever, ultimate frisbee, baseball and squash. Family and friends play a huge role in my reason to get up in the morning, and I take every opportunity I can get to enjoy food, drink, sport and travel with them.

Please download my Resume for more about my profile and professional highlights.

Thanks.
