Summary

I have over 27 years of sales and customer service experience, with a proven track record of building successful businesses. After growing a large commercial cleaning company from scratch with B2B contracts, I launched my own venture, which I successfully sold in 2021. During the pandemic, I took a break to focus on my online health and wellness business, which I continue to manage. Currently, I am office-based, working in a sales role where I excel in driving results.

I am seeking a remote position where I can continue to leverage my exceptional sales and communication skills. I’m confident that my work ethic, experience, and ability to consistently hit targets will make me a valuable asset to any Company. I thrive in dynamic environments and am excited about the opportunity to contribute to a fast-paced, results-driven team.
