United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I'm a dedicated and energetic professional with a strong background in client retention and sales. Over the years, I have honed my skills in project management and relationship building, particularly during my time as a Lead Elementary Guide at LePort Montessori School. My experience there has equipped me with the ability to maintain and cultivate professional relationships with both coworkers and customers, ensuring a collaborative and productive environment.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have a solid foundation in sales, having worked as an Outside Sales Representative at Morgan Linen Services, where I was recognized as the top sales representative for three consecutive months. My ability to close new deals and retain existing customers has been a key factor in my success. I am passionate about leveraging my skills in a new role that allows me to continue growing and contributing to a team.
