Summary

I have aspired to work internationally for as long as I remember, inspired by my parents who moved overseas when I was 8 years old. As a result of this chapter in my life I grew a worldly mindset which inspired a drive for success. Through my academic, athletic, and creative endeavours I developed a knack for connecting with people from any background, ethnicity or religion. Travelling and adventure has always been a large part of my life and I am looking for a new position that will enable me to follow these dreams.

Professionally, I have over half a decade of experience in the technology space, both in new-business sales and post-sales capacities. My key strength is relationship building, and teamwork has been key to my growth and success. As an ambitious person, I thrive in the software world, relishing the challenges and opportunities it presents. I take pride in my consultative approach, business acumen, internal and external communication skills, ability to navigate conflict where it arises.
