What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges my sales expertise and allows for professional growth.

I am a dynamic Media Sales Executive with nine years of experience in driving sales growth and enhancing client engagement. My expertise lies in developing marketing strategies, conducting market research, and delivering compelling presentations. Throughout my career, I have successfully managed client relations at various media companies, consistently surpassing sales goals through proactive business development and effective communication.

Currently, I serve as an Educational Sales Representative at Varsity Tutors, where I focus on consultative sales within the educational sector. I leverage my background in sales to guide prospective students and families towards personalized learning solutions. My previous roles, including positions at Cumulus Media and Comcast Advertising, have honed my skills in digital marketing and client relationship management, allowing me to deliver persuasive sales presentations and cultivate new client relationships.

My commitment to excellence is reflected in my achievements, including being a President’s Award Winner in 2021 and 2022. I am eager to leverage my unique skills in a challenging environment to help companies meet their advertising and marketing objectives.
