With over two decades in sales and 18+ years leading in the fast-paced wireless retail space, I’ve built my career around empowering people to perform, grow, and lead with confidence. As a Director of Sales, I’ve led high-performing teams, scaled operations, and consistently delivered results—all while prioritizing the development of people as the foundation of success. My superpower is building strong, inclusive teams and cultivating talent—especially among those who may not see themselves as leaders yet. I specialize in helping individuals unlock their potential, navigate change with resilience, and thrive in complex environments. From managing large-scale sales operations to mentoring rising stars, I bring a hands-on, heart-led approach to leadership, communication, team building, and strategic growth. I’m especially passionate about helping women in tech and other fast-moving industries rise into leadership roles, break barriers, and redefine success on their own terms. Whether I’m coaching through a crisis or celebrating a team win, my goal is always the same: to create workplaces where people feel seen, supported, and inspired to grow. Let’s connect, build together, and elevate the next generation of bold, brilliant leaders.
