About

Hello! I am a business enthusiast with a passion for sales. Sales comes very natural to me. I have over 10 years of experience working with all types of diverse clients from all over the world. I understand how to read a costumer and provide them excellent service, all the while protecting the interests of my company. Having the benefit of knowing Spanish at a professional level has helped me win my customer’s trust with previous employments throughout South Florida and Texas, and continues to be a valuable asset. Part of my success in sales and management is due to the excellent education I received at Florida International University, where I received a Bachelor’s degree in Business, specialized in International Business. Much of the skills I acquired were thanks to my previous positions that challenged and trained me to perfect my talents in service to others. Management, business development, relationship building, and negotiating are just some of the many skills I’ve mastered over the years. For the past 9 years I’ve been inspired by the transportation industry and enjoy watching my work and experience grow along with the company. I’m always interested in connecting with colleagues, old friends or anyone with shared interests. Love to hear from you!
