Driven and adaptable Sales Development Representative with hands-on experience in lead generation, client engagement, and pipeline management. I discovered my natural talent for sales early in my career and am now focused on leveraging this potential to break into high growth industries within innovative B2B environments. Known for my positive attitude, resilience, and strong work ethic, I approach every opportunity with a student mindset constantly learning and evolving. I am seeking to join a forward-thinking, reputable company with a competitive product and proven market leadership that values personal and professional growth. I am committed to contributing meaningfully to business success while developing my skills to progress into an Account Executive role, where I can make a lasting impact and drive substantial revenue growth.


Since a young age, I have been highly disciplined, particularly through regular gym training, which has instilled principles of dedication and consistency that carry over into my professional life. I am passionate about continual self-improvement, regularly engaging with sales books and podcasts to sharpen my skills. This curiosity and commitment to growth fuel my ambition to excel in fast-evolving business sectors, helping me exceed targets and deliver exceptional results.
