About

Transitioning from personal training into tech sales has been an exciting journey, and I’m thrilled to be a BDR at Apollo.io. My background in personal training sharpened my communication skills, discipline, and ability to build strong relationships, qualities that translate seamlessly into sales. At Apollo.io, I leverage these strengths, along with my organizational skills and strong work ethic, to be a collaborative team player who consistently drives pipeline and delivers results. I thrive in goal-oriented environments and take pride in contributing to the company’s growth and success. I’m always eager to learn, grow, and push myself to new heights. Let’s connect!
