About

A results-driven sales and marketing professional with a passion for growth, both in revenue and in people. With a strong track record as an individual contributor and with leadership experience, I bring a unique mix of execution, coaching, and strategic thinking to the teams I work with. Most recently, I’ve stepped into an 12 month Sales Manager rotation leading a team through hiring, onboarding, and performance coaching during key periods of change. This experience has deepened my interest in leadership and strengthened my ability to support team success, whether formally or informally. As an IC, I bring high ownership, consistent results, and a collaborative mindset. As a leader, I focus on building skillsets and confidence so that I can help others do their best work. I'm excited by roles that allow me to contribute at a high level, grow others, and continue developing toward long-term leadership.
