About

Passionate problem solver, lifelong learner, and humble leader who always strives to be kind, authentic, and relentless in the pursuit of greatness. When times are tough, I become better rather than bitter. In my current role, I support Adobe’s Digital Experience Cloud offerings in the Install-base segment, supporting 2 Account Executives and their broader ecosystems to drive cross-sell, upsell, and new business pipeline for our Data & Journey solutions across 400+ install accounts. In past years, I was able to drive revenue growth within our Greenfield segment, consistently attaining >100% quota goals (deal $ and # of SQOs) through a mix of inbound lead conversion, opportunity qualification, and targeted outbound campaigns. I also contribute to our greater BDR org, whether that's assisting with our CRM migration, mobilizing cross functional teams to improve processes or alignment, mentoring and training countless new hires + interns, and supporting our Center of Excellence and Sales Academy teams by running org-wide enablements on prospecting strategy, internal processes, tools, and cold calls. My background includes a Bachelors in Marketing from the Jindal School of Management, where I graduated with the highest honors of Summa Cum Laude (Top 1%), was a member of the Professional Programs in Marketing and Sales & the Marketing Leadership Council. I also earned my concentration in Sales from the University Sales Center Alliance (USCA) for my professional training in our nationally-recognized program, student leadership roles as an Account Manager and Sales Rep, and success as a finalist in national sales competitions. Outside of selling… I love art, meditating, cooking, photography, music, dancing, surfing, yoga, meeting people, and spreading smiles.
