What I'm looking for
I’m a naturally curious, competitive, and relationship-driven person who has built my career around understanding people and helping them solve problems. My background spans entrepreneurship, digital marketing, hospitality, business development, and consultative sales. Across each of these areas, I’ve most enjoyed connecting with people, learning what matters to them, and turning complicated or stressful situations into clear next steps.
Working directly with resort guests taught me patience, attention to detail, and the importance of creating a positive experience during every interaction. Consultative sales strengthened my ability to earn trust, ask thoughtful questions, listen without judgment, and communicate difficult information clearly. I’m most fulfilled when someone leaves a conversation feeling understood and more confident about what to do next.
Earlier in my career, I helped build a small marketing business. That experience taught me to take ownership, adapt quickly, wear multiple hats, and solve problems without waiting for perfect instructions. It also sparked my interest in how sales, marketing, technology, and customer experience work together to grow a business.
I’ve always been the “tech-loving” person among my friends and family. I’m fascinated by how products work and how technology can make people and businesses more effective. Recently, I’ve been exploring conversational AI, voice agents, CRM automation, and improved sales and customer-service workflows. I enjoy learning by building, testing ideas, and improving what does not work.
Competitive water polo also shaped how I approach work. I competed at collegiate and elite levels and served as team captain. The sport taught me discipline, resilience, quick decision-making, coachability, and accountability. Those lessons still influence how I handle pressure, respond to feedback, support teammates, and recover from setbacks.
Career transitions and challenges have helped me become more self-aware and confident as a professional and leader. I’m comfortable asking questions and learning from people with more experience, while still taking initiative and accepting responsibility for results.
I’m now pursuing a long-term career in technology sales, ideally as an SDR or BDR with an ambitious startup or growing technology company. I want to represent a product I understand and believe can make a positive difference. My goal is to grow into an account executive and eventually become a leader who helps others develop confidence and succeed.
Outside of work, I enjoy golf, swimming, freediving, fitness, emerging technology, and entrepreneurial projects. I’m happiest when I’m improving, building meaningful relationships, or working toward a challenging goal with a strong team.
