Summary
Passionate and results-driven professional with over 12 years of experience in coaching, communication, and client growth. Originally from the UK and now based in Australia, I’ve built and scaled multiple tennis programs from the ground up — developing strong skills in relationship-building, persuasion, and performance management. My background in coaching translates naturally into high-ticket sales, where I bring empathy, resilience, and the ability to guide clients toward outcomes that improve their lives. I’m now pursuing a career in remote sales, starting as an Appointment Setter with the aim to progress into a Closer role within the health, fitness, or mindset industries.
