Summary

With a proven track record at Service Today, I excel in fostering client relationships and leading sales teams to achieve targets and goals. My expertise in sales planning and motivational skills has significantly boosted revenue and team performance. Known for innovative strategies and effective staff management, I bring both hard and soft skills to drive success. I played sports growing up and have always been one to bring positivity and morale up for the team. I joined the St. Paul police explorers as going through high school I wanted to become a St Paul police officer. I was an explorer from 9th grade through 11th grade and decided I didn’t want to make a career of it at that time.
