• 🗣️ Clear and persuasive communicator who adapts messaging and tone for different audiences, from the boardroom to the classroom

• 🚀 Resilient, persistent, and self-motivated professional who thrives on ownership, overcomes challenges, and consistently delivers results

• 💡 Strong consultative selling mindset with an ability to build rapport, uncover needs, and sell complex solutions that deliver real value — traits that can’t be easily trained
