About

I'm a detail-driven professional with a strong background in inventory control, quality assurance, and team leadership. I’m strong in problem‑solving, direct communication, and maintaining smooth operations in high‑pressure environments. After years supporting production, improving processes, and building cross‑functional relationships, I’m now looking to bring my operational expertise and people‑focused approach into an inside sales role. I thrive in roles that blend precision, communication, and relationship‑building, and I’m excited to create value in a customer‑facing environment. Open to connecting with teams looking for someone who can bridge technical understanding with strong interpersonal skills.
