About Me

A relationship-builder at heart, with the numbers to prove it.

I'm currently helping clients discover career training opportunities at Catholic Charities in Houston. Before that, I spent over six years at PowerToFly, where I grew from BDR to Team Lead — consistently exceeding quota and building the sales playbook the entire team adopted.

I'm organized, I follow through, and I genuinely enjoy solving problems for people. Whether it's connecting someone with the right opportunity or cracking a hard-to-reach account, I bring energy, persistence, and a personal touch to everything I do.
