I lead consultative B2B sales teams that grow healthcare and SaaS revenue.

United States
Message

At Brighton Hospice, I grew census from 40 to 100+ patients in one year and built a five-person sales team that expanded territory coverage by 150%.

I've led full-cycle B2B sales across healthcare, SaaS, and logistics, from prospecting and discovery through demos, closing, account expansion, and strategic reviews. At Elara Caring, I drove 138% territory growth and earned Rookie of the Year; at Ascend Health, I grew active referring accounts by 18%.

My background in creative writing, theatre, public speaking, and nonprofit work shapes how I sell: clear communication, confident presentations, and trust built quickly with decision-makers.
