What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values strong client relationships and offers opportunities for growth and creativity.

I am a seasoned Sr. Sales Account Manager with over a decade of experience in building strong client relationships and driving sales growth. My career has been defined by my ability to uncover opportunities in both established and new accounts, prioritizing long-term client relationships while remaining competitive within the industry. I have consistently met or exceeded sales targets, contributing significantly to the overall growth and success of my company.

In addition to my sales expertise, I have a background in event planning, having organized numerous speaker events and retreats for the Entrepreneurs Organization. My attention to detail and commitment to excellence ensure that every event reflects the organization's values. I also have experience as a Realtor, where I represented buyers and sellers through every stage of the real estate process, utilizing data-informed strategies to optimize the buying and selling experience.
