I've always been in sales - as a kid I was opening up lemonade stands, helping my dad with random side hustles, mowing yards, and selling cookies.

I've maintained that entrepreneurial spirit throughout my career, and landed my first sales role in 2012 selling industrial grade surge protection devices. Since then - I've taken my experience to the start-up space, joining a team pre-series B as employee #50, and helping them scale to unicorn status. The ability to drink from the fire hose, learn quickly, and see that everyone around me was acting like an owner of the company was extremely motivating and rewarding. At the end of the day - offering a solution to a business that will improve the quality of life for their end users excites me, and I can easily get behind a product that does this. By obtaining my degree in Industrial and Organizational Psychology, I learned how to apply psychological principles and methods to improve the performance and well-being of individuals and teams in work settings. I also gained valuable experience as a teaching and research assistant, honing my problem-solving, team-building, and data-analysis skills. I am passionate about people, and I strive to understand their unique needs and goals. I use empathy, encouragement, and humor to build rapport and trust with my clients and colleagues. I am always eager to learn new things and challenge myself, and I seek feedback and coaching to improve my professional growth. I am motivated by the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of others through my work.
