P R O F I L E

A charismatic and passionate professional seeking an opportunity in a sales-centric role. In my 10+ years of experience, I surpassed sales goals across the hospitality industry working with a wide array of clients - boutique and bluechip including, but not limited to - Merrill Lynch, The University of Arizona, NCAA Arizona Bowl, and HomeGoods. Growth-oriented focus, proactive- communication, adherence to metrics, and commitment to customer service are driving principles that I championed to take my company to be number one several years running. I look forward to applying the same work ethic and core values in your organization.
