Sales Training Supervisor
North Babylon,NY

Summary

A versatile professional with over 4 years of experience across business development, consultancy, healthcare, retail, and telecommunications. Holding a Bachelor's in Business Administration from Malaysia, I've worked in student consultancy, finance, medical services, and customer-facing roles.

I began my career as a Student Counselor and Business Development Executive, then expanded into medical services as a Medical Scribe at Augmedix. My internships at Standard Bank and AJI Group of Industries in Bangladesh further broadened my skills. Since moving to the USA, I have built strong leadership and customer service expertise as a Pharmacy Technician at CVS, Team Lead at Walgreens, and currently as a Sales Trainer and Supervisor at Cellularsales, an authorized Verizon retailer.

With a proven ability in leadership, sales training, and client relations, I thrive in dynamic environments, driving success and fostering team growth.
