Summary

Throughout high school and college, I had the opportunity to serve others in the restaurant/food service industry. The passion I gained working with others in addition to my formal education and competitive mindset led me to pursue a career in sales.

In my young professional career, I have found that nothing satisfies me more than meeting new people, developing new relationships, solving problems, and contributing to the growth of businesses.
