About

Marketing and sales leader with a track record of driving growth across healthcare, education, and home services. Currently leading marketing strategy and revenue operations for a residential electrical contractor in Central New Jersey, where I focus on lead generation, local SEO, and building systems that turn leads into booked jobs. My background includes over a decade in education as a special education teacher and instructional supervisor, followed by roles in pharmaceutical sales (consistently exceeded quota at Curexa), medical device sales, and life science staffing. I also independently built and manage a real estate investment portfolio (2012 - Present). What I bring to the table: proven ability to build and close sales pipelines, strong relationship-building skills that open doors with hard-to-reach decision-makers, and a talent for training teams on objection handling and sales processes. I'm skilled at analyzing competitive markets, identifying opportunities others miss, and adjusting strategy to win. Whether it's optimizing Google Local Services Ads, coaching a CSR through a tough sales call, developing pricing strategies with field teams, or building lead conversion systems from scratch, I approach everything with the same mindset — understand the numbers, build the system, execute with discipline.
