Dedicated educator and sales professional with proven motivational skills.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated and motivated professional with years of experience in both sales and education. My journey began at The Pennsylvania State University, where I earned my B.S. in Education. Since then, I have successfully transitioned into teaching, where I have developed engaging lesson plans and fostered a positive learning environment for my students. Currently, I am teaching 5th Grade ELA at Island Village Elementary School, where I implement standards-based lessons and integrate technology to enhance student learning.
In addition to my teaching experience, I have a strong background in sales, having worked with various companies to drive growth and exceed performance goals. As a Community Development Representative at One Hope Wine, I increased sales by 10% month over month while managing a high volume of leads. My experience as a Sales Representative at companies like ADP and Southern Wine and Spirits has honed my ability to connect with diverse groups and build lasting relationships.
