I am a highly proficient, self-driven and professional Account Manager with a strong work ethic, valuing accountability and quality outcomes. During my sales career, I have built lasting relationships and have been recognised for my integrity, strong customer focus and desire to add value and apply high standards at all times. I am extremely proud of the reputation and personal brand that I have built in the Education sector and am humbled by the trust I receive in return. The ability to identify opportunities, listen objectively and develop accurate solutions to then take a proactive approach towards outcomes, has equipped me to meet and exceed sales targets. I am interested in applying my skills within a dynamic company that values quality and can capitalise on my skills.
