What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote outreach, appointment-setting, sales, or client-facing role where I can turn cold conversations into qualified meetings, manage follow-up pipelines, work across US time zones, and contribute independently.

At AKSI Association, I build and run funder outreach—from target lists and cold calls to scheduled discovery meetings with foundation programme officers and executive directors. I manage qualification, invitations, rescheduling, follow-up tracking, and distributed-team calendars across multiple time zones.

Previously, at Dynamic Creations, I sold directly to the public at markets and school events, taking cold conversations through to close while handling live price and suitability objections. I'm an award-winning speaker who works independently from a dedicated remote setup and builds rapport quickly under pressure.
