Summary
Over the past 5 years, I've experienced leading various teams to overcome challenges in the world of sales. In this field, communication is extremely important and I can confidently say it is one of my best skills. In addition to my expert communication, I'm empathetic and often am able to connect with everyone in my workspace. Not only do I listen to what other's have to say in the workplace, but I'm also outspoken, and am not afraid to voice my opinions in order to better work with people and overcome challenges or resolve issues with my team and upper management. Most importantly, I love to learn! I find myself to be very self sufficient and have a mindset for constant growth. I know that if I don't know how to do something I can always learn and that there is no such thing as failure, only lessons.
