Outside sales and account management professional who grew Advance Auto Parts' market from 97 to 165 accounts.

Message

At Advance Auto Parts, I managed key accounts across five stores and grew the market from 97 to 165 accounts. I negotiated contracts, upsold equipment and tools, and exceeded monthly sales goals year over year.

As an Outreach Specialist with the Department of Defense, I ranked #1 out of 16 specialists for 45 consecutive months. I awarded, managed, and distributed over $2.5 million annually in scholarships to Houston-area students.

At the U.S. Army, I directed recruiting and sales across a 30,000-plus-square-mile territory and helped achieve 127% of district goals. I also managed and developed recruiters and leaders, and my district ranked #1 out of six nationwide.

I'm currently studying HVAC at Tulsa Welding School. My earlier technical coursework at Clark College covered electrical, pneumatics, hydraulics, and instrumentation, supporting my interest in HVAC and mechanical sales.
