What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that allows me to utilize my sales expertise and leadership skills while contributing to a company's growth.

I am a motivated and goal-driven professional with over 10 years of sales management experience. My career has been dedicated to introducing innovative sales strategies that significantly increase revenue. I thrive in dynamic environments where I can utilize my leadership, communication, and organizational skills to contribute to a company's success.

Throughout my career, I have held various roles that have honed my abilities in administrative support and volunteer management. As a Guest Services Manager at the Center for African American Military History, I successfully secured partnerships with high-profile clients and developed community networking events that resulted in a remarkable 57% profit increase in sales. My commitment to excellence was recognized when I consistently exceeded the annual gift shop revenue goal by 11%.

I am passionate about leveraging my skills in a stimulating career that allows me to make a meaningful impact while continuing to grow professionally. I am eager to bring my expertise to a new organization where I can help drive success and foster positive relationships.
