01 / About

Good sales is not about saying more. It is about understanding better.

I am a Professional Selling major and Religion minor at Baylor University with a 3.67 GPA. My faith shapes how I work: serve first, tell the truth, follow through, and treat every person as more than an outcome. Through the BEST Program and Christian Leadership in Business, I am learning to pair commercial discipline with servant-minded leadership.

How I work

A clear point
of view.

01

Proven prospector

I am comfortable starting from zero: building a territory, averaging 100 daily prospecting touches, and converting cold conversations into 11 face-to-face meetings.

02

Relationship-driven seller

I listen first, learn what matters, and follow through consistently. That approach helped me support 60 vehicle sales while independently closing six deals.

03

Servant-minded leader

I build people and processes for the long term—from mentoring nine first-year students to creating a risk strategy that equipped more than 150 members.

04 / Beyond work

Faith keeps me grounded. People keep me growing.

My faith changes the standard I bring to work: serve before seeking credit, lead with integrity, and stay consistent when no one is keeping score. Mentoring nine first-year students has taught me that leadership is less about having every answer and more about being present, dependable, and willing to help someone grow. That is the teammate and future sales leader I want to be.
