Summary

I am a results-driven professional with a diverse background in sales, insurance, real estate, and leadership. My journey began by selling door-to-door to fund my Bachelor's degree in Philosophy, where I developed a strong work ethic, resilience, and the ability to connect with people. These early experiences taught me the value of perseverance and determination.

I went on to achieve high success as a licensed insurance agent with GEICO, where I quickly rose through the ranks. My performance earned me a promotion to Sales Trainer and Mentor, allowing me to guide and empower others to achieve their goals. I also pursued business and finance coursework through GEICO, enhancing my understanding of core business principles.

As a Supervisor, I managed a team of agents, fostering a high-performance culture while driving operational excellence. My leadership skills, combined with my deep understanding of sales, client relations, and business operations, position me to excel in a variety of industries that prioritize growth and development.

Having obtained my real estate license, I gained invaluable experience in understanding clients' financial needs, investments, and long-term goals. This diverse background, coupled with my commitment to continuous learning, has shaped me into a well-rounded professional eager to contribute to a company that values growth, innovation, and leadership.

I am now focused on leveraging my experience in sales, leadership, coaching, and client relations to pursue a career that offers continuous learning and the opportunity for long-term growth. I am excited about joining a dynamic team where I can develop new skills, take on increasing responsibilities, and make a meaningful impact.
