As one of the fastest-growing cities in the United States, Raleigh, NC, continues to attract attention for its dynamic economy, burgeoning tech sector, and vibrant cultural scene.

But I don't live in those areas, and I don't know the culture.

I am well traveled and very culturally experienced and am a dedicated sales and marketing professional who exceeds goals, retains customers and maintains a strong reputation for customer satisfaction.With all that said, I am looking to understand the US market for both professional and personal reasons.
