Summary

I’ve rebuilt when most would’ve walked. Grew a business from rock bottom. Crushed quotas in rooms I had to fight to get into. Became a top recruiter in under a year by outworking, out-caring, and outlasting. I zoom out to lead, zoom in to execute. I lead with heart—but I show up like a hammer.
