My journey has allowed me to acquire a multitude of skill-sets that can fortunately can be transferred to any corporation or government agency. My acquired skill-set will bring value to any organization, whether it be in the private or public sector.
I’m privileged that my journey has developed me into a dedicated and dynamic professional as a National Account Manager and a Sales Manager with extensive experience.
My comprehensive skill-set has allowed me to develop into an experienced, successful and an adaptable thinker. I’m able to bring value and exceed established targets/quotas and goals and drive business growth.
As a cost-conscious leader, I have a keen eye for detail to reduce expenses and increase profitability, ensuring the lasting success of a corporation.
Over my personal and professional years I’ve come to believe:
To be Successful at any Endeavor, NEVER STOP Growing or Learning!
That is why I’m excited for my next NEW JOURNEY!
