I have a Bachelor's in Elementary Education with a minor in Church Ministry. I have 10+ years of experience as a catechist and four years of experience on staff at a parish: two as the Coordinator of Social Media and two as the Coordinator of Childrens' Faith Formation. Due to a change in circumstances I had to leave parish work for the corporate world, but I would love to find a remote position that combines my Faith, parish experience, and software technology sales skills.
I spent four years thriving in a small startup, moving from Inside Sales professional to a Sales Support Specialist. The startup was then acquired by a large organization where I’ve continued to grow, being promoted to Account Manager and hitting 185% of my year one quota.
As an Account Manager I currently work closely with clients to get to know their business model and corporate goals in order to identify and close any upsell and cross-sell opportunities while maximizing ARR. I am an effective communicator, always well prepared for client meetings and proactively involve the appropriate internal teams when needed. My clients regularly express their appreciation for my attention to detail and overall level of care with which I handle their accounts.
I am results-driven and consistently praised as hard-working by my co-workers and management. I invite you to review my detailed experience in the attached resume, and reach out with any questions or to further discuss my skills and experience.
