Sales Associate

Hi, I'm Rana! I'm so glad you stopped by my profile.

Currently, I'm an Associate Brand Manager at Fat Brain Toy Co., which means I get to work behind the scenes to bring toy ideas from concept to shelf. Isn't that the coolest?

I love toys and the toy industry -- not only do I work in the industry, but I also collect toys! 

Besides toys, another passion of mine (if you haven't already guessed!) is writing. I love writing fiction and released my debut novel in February 2024.

I'm on LinkedIn to build a community, and I'd love to have you join me! Feel free to check out my content, and if you like what you see, shoot me a connection request and let's chat!
