With a proven track record of success in cross-cultural communication and adapting sales strategies to various global markets, I am committed to delivering exceptional client service and achieving sales targets.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated exceptional performance and leadership abilities, rapidly advancing from Associate Art Auctioneer to Departmental Head/Art Auctioneer within two years. I have also excelled in fostering client relationships by providing personalized recommendations and exceptional service, resulting in a 30% increase in revenue.

In addition to my sales expertise, I possess a strong background in administration, having managed calendars, schedules, and correspondence with ease. I am proficient in CRM software (Dubsado) and have a keen eye for detail, ensuring seamless service delivery and problem-solving.
