What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my sales expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on client engagement and revenue growth.

I am a strategic sales and business development expert with a proven track record of transforming business challenges into revenue growth. With extensive experience in the healthcare and real estate industries, I excel in strengthening client relationships and expanding services. My leadership in a dental practice expansion generated over $567K in new revenue, showcasing my ability to optimize client engagement and negotiate high-value contracts.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong aptitude for data-informed decision-making and service development. My consultative selling approach, combined with financial oversight and operational efficiency, has consistently delivered solutions that enhance business performance and ensure long-term success. I am passionate about driving sustained revenue growth and operational excellence, as evidenced by my role as Office Manager at Midwest Dental Center, where I led initiatives that significantly increased patient acquisition and retention.
