Summary

With a strong background in technical recruiting and a proven track record in meeting and exceeding goals, I’m eager to return to a sales-focused role where I can leverage my relationship-building skills and goal-driven mindset. I’m especially interested in roles that allow me to build meaningful connections, support business growth, and contribute to the success of a product or service I believe in.
