1st degree connection 1st Sales Director @ Bright Horizons | Author of M@xim!ze | Aspiring Pioneer in College to Career Skills Coaching | AI Sales Advisor | Author & Speaker I’m propelled forward by 3 relentless introspective mantras:

There has to be a better way to... How can I be of value to... What can I do to help...

These all coalesce to form:

How can I do the hard work in a thoughtful and thorough way so others/ the next generation can thrive?

I’m excited to continue to enact these values in my new role at Bright Horizons where we continue to improve the work-life balance of all employees and help them thrive with financial and workforce education.

In keeping with my focus on “what can I do to help”, I’ve written 100 Skills of the Successful Sales Professional to help destigmatize the sales profession and make professional development more digestible.
