About

With over 10 years of sales experience and over four years of experience in sales development and business development in the software industry, I am a passionate and driven leader who thrives on delivering exceptional results for my clients and company. I currently work as a Business Development Manager at LitLingo, a communications analysis platform that helps companies prevent harmful communications, provide employees with in-the-moment training, and operationalize communication audits. As a former SDR Team Lead at Integrate, a marketing technology company, I managed, trained, and optimized a team of six SDRs, achieving over 120% of the team quota and increasing the outbound pipeline by 40%. I also excelled as an SDR at Juniper Square, a real estate investment management software, where I generated over $2 million in pipeline and over $500k in ARR through outbound prospecting and relationship building. I have extensive skills and knowledge in sales operations, customer satisfaction, direct sales, and software solutions, and I enjoy collaborating with diverse and cross-functional teams to achieve our shared goals.
