What I'm looking for

I’m seeking client-facing sales roles at EdTech or SaaS companies where I can use classroom experience and full-cycle sales skills to build pipelines, close deals, and support product adoption within collaborative, growth-focused teams.

I am a sales-focused professional with a background in education who builds and manages full sales cycles, from prospecting and cold outreach to contract negotiation and closing. I have a track record of delivering persuasive demos, using Salesforce CRM to forecast and manage pipelines, and consistently surpassing quotas.

As a certified teacher and classroom leader, I translate complex ideas into clear, engaging presentations and adapt to diverse audiences—skills I apply to client onboarding and consultative selling. I seek roles where I can pair educational insight with sales strategy to drive growth for EdTech and SaaS organizations.
