Summary
Over the past decade, I've advanced through various roles within Honda. Initially joining the American Honda Finance Corporation, I transitioned from a contingent employee to a full-time associate, specializing in customer service and collections. After moving into an analyst position in 2017, I quickly climbed the ranks, becoming a District Sales Manager for the Eastern Virginia/North Carolina region. Progressing further, I assumed the role of Senior District Sales Manager for American Honda Sales – Acura Division, servicing PA, NJ, and DE dealers. In summer of 2023, I completed my graduate degree in Information Security at Kennesaw State University. Now, in 2024, I've returned to Honda as a Senior District Sales Manager overseeing Albany NY/Connecticut dealerships.
