What I'm looking for

I am looking for a remote role that allows me to utilize my skills while providing opportunities for professional growth and development.

I am an experienced sales specialist and business manager with a law degree, currently seeking a fully remote role. My journey has taken me through academic, self-employed, and corporate environments, allowing me to develop a strong work ethic and discipline that enable me to thrive in any situation. I am motivated to leverage my skills effectively while embracing opportunities for growth.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed a variety of roles, including my recent position as a Sales Specialist at Softcat, where I handled over 80 active opportunities and collaborated with high-level executives. My experience as the Owner and Director of Kismet Wholesale Ltd has honed my logistics management and customer relationship skills, ensuring sales targets are consistently met. I pride myself on my ability to adapt and learn quickly, which has been crucial in navigating challenges such as the pandemic.
