Summary

Hello! My name is Nick and I'm a recent Biochemistry graduate with a passion for entrepreneurship. My scientific background provides me with a strong foundation in technical concepts, problem-solving, and attention to detail. I am most eager to begin leveraging these skills in a business setting.


Upon graduating college, I continued preparing myself for this journey by furthering my education with CourseCareers. There, I was provided with in-depth sales knowledge and practiced prospecting, cold calling, and closing deals. Throughout this process, I learned crucial sales skills and was exposed to a multitude of sales methodologies and CRM technologies such as SPIN, BANT, Salesforce, Hubspot, etc.


Lastly, while completing my undergrad, I gained industry experience as a Sales Associate at Better Health. In that role, I honed my skills in customer service, product knowledge, and sales strategies. This experience has highlighted to me the importance of building strong relationships with clients, understanding their needs, and providing tailored solutions.
