With more than 10 years’ experience as a sales and marketing professional, I am adept in quickly ascertaining client needs, building rapport, promoting products, services and solutions. My diverse background has provided me a well-rounded skill set in which I excel at:

•	Strong Communication & Relationship Building: My experience has included regular meetings with industry vendors, key stakeholders, and strategic associates to define marketing strategies that effectively promoted our business and services. I took a key role in planning and attending client conferences to further grow and develop client relationships.

•	Develop Strategic Sales Strategies: As a brand ambassador for Stella & Dot, I represented jewelry, apparel and beauty products by selling in-person, virtually, via social media, 1:1, and in small to large group settings. I provided a personalized shopping experience; using verbal and visual presentations to represent our product offering while maintaining a large client base, repeat business, and nurtured new and existing relationships.

In addition to my experience, I am a creative problem-solver who is self-directed, optimistic, and detail oriented. I have a solid foundation in marketing and a passion for sales with the highest service. Please review my attached resume for additional details regarding my career achievements. I would love to connect to discuss how my experience and background meets your needs.
