Summary

I bring over two years of hands-on sales experience, starting my journey at the age of 15. From a young age, I’ve been immersed in the world of business, working in both B2B and B2C environments, including industries like real estate, gyms, and sales coaching. My path in sales has been driven by a deep passion for human connection—understanding that sales isn’t just about numbers but about energy and emotion.


Over the years, I’ve honed my ability to close high-ticket deals and manage every type of lead—whether they’re cold, warm, or hot—nurturing relationships that continue long after the first conversation. My approach has always been rooted in building trust and aligning myself with the energy of the prospect, because I believe that when you’re on the same wavelength as your client, any deal is possible.


As someone who is committed to personal growth, I view sales as an extension of my journey to develop the mind, body, and soul. This mindset has shaped my ability to communicate authentically, persuade effectively, and remain adaptable in a fast-paced, ever-changing sales environment. I look forward to continuing to expand my skills, grow my professional network, and make a lasting impact in the industry by delivering exceptional results.
