What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my sales expertise in a collaborative environment, where I can contribute to team success and drive revenue growth while fostering strong client relationships.

As a seasoned sales professional with over a decade of experience, I have consistently driven revenue growth and built strong client relationships. My career has been marked by a proven track record of exceeding sales targets and delivering exceptional customer service. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can leverage my skills to lead sales teams and contribute to organizational success.

In my most recent role as a Bookkeeper at Byterite, I maintained accurate financial records and ensured compliance with tax regulations. My previous experiences as an Administrative Assistant and Sales Development Representative have equipped me with a diverse skill set, including effective communication, problem-solving, and strategic planning. I am passionate about fostering client satisfaction and driving business success through innovative sales strategies.
