Summary

Driven and disciplined professional transitioning from a career as a correctional officer. While I don’t hold a formal degree, I bring transferable skills that directly support success in a sales role: strong communication, resilience under pressure, conflict resolution, and the ability to read people quickly and adapt; my work ethic, reliability, and no-excuses mindset. I’m ready to outwork anyone and prove myself in a performance-driven environment.
