About me

Early-career professional evaluating a career change and seeking opportunities that align with my next direction.

I started in retail sales and moved into management before spending more than a decade in technology sales with mid-market and enterprise customers. My favorite part of that work has been helping customers look past the price tag to understand what an investment would cost over time and what it could improve. I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in finance and am looking for a role where I can bring that customer perspective to financial analysis and business decisions.
