About

I am a relationship-driven sales and business development senior with experience in hospitality, leadership, and community initiatives, and a strong interest in sales environments. I thrive in fast-paced, people-focused roles where communication, problem-solving, and trust-building drive results. As Founder and President of Gamecocks RUN, I scaled the organization from 5 to 64 members in one year (1,180% growth) and led social media campaigns that grew interest by 715% and Instagram reach by 1,398.9%. Through partnerships, such as fundraising with local coffee shops, we advanced our mission to fight Parkinson’s. These accomplishments reflect my ability to grow communities, drive engagement, and deliver results, skills I am excited to apply in sales and business development. In hospitality at Moxy Hotels, I deliver excellent guest experiences while strengthening my skills in client engagement, operations, and sales-minded service, all key to CRM, lead generation, and account management. As VP of Professional Development for PSE, I guide members in career growth and professional skills. Outside of work, I am passionate about running, fitness, and total-body health. I value consistency, discipline, and personal growth, and I enjoy spending time outdoors through hiking and wellness-focused activities. Let’s connect! [email protected]
