Summary

I’m a sales pro who knows how to chase down a lead, build real connections, and close deals that make sense for everyone involved. I've worked across logistics, finance, and SaaS so I'm no stranger to fast-paced, ever-changing industries. Cold calling? Believe it or not, I genuinely love it. There’s something rewarding about starting from a simple hello and turning it into a meaningful conversation and eventually, a lasting business relationship. I know my way around Salesforce and PowerBI, and I’m all about using data to work smarter, not harder. At the end of the day, I care about solving problems for people and hitting goals.
