Sales professional experienced in business development and new sales B2B within the Automotive Industry. I have 10 years’ experience in field sales, covering a vast area within the Automotive Industry.

I posses a demonstrable record in sales growth, leadership, developing and achieving strategic goals year on year; prior to that, I have experience as a fully qualified Beauty Therapist with experience in beauty product sales.

For many years I have taken a keen interest in aesthetics and cosmetic surgery and I am a consumer

of both. A very positive personal experience of this area of medicine ignited the realisation that I

should now combine my experiences, skills and love for selling with a medical environment.

I have always nursed secret thoughts of becoming a doctor, surgeon or pharmacist and the ‘Science and Medicine meets Glamour’ aspect of medicine, with the aspiration to improve physical and mental wellbeing, is where my interest lies.

I have been extremely successful both professionally and financially with my career in the Automotive Industry but now I have reached a crossroads and I really would like to transition into an industry that interests me and ignites my passion.
