Creating Value as a Newbie!
➡️As I wrap up my first quarter in not only a new position with a new company but also a brand-new industry, I’ve pondered over an important attribution to my career - creating value!
🚩The Doubt says:
“I mean, how could someone like me, once intimidated by tech, create value for the 5Cs - my Company, Coworkers, Customers, Colleagues, and Career - in this brilliant industry?” 🤔
🗝️The key to *creating value* lies within our mindset. We can choose to be overwhelmed with what we don’t know or be enthusiastic and motivated by what we do know. 🎉 One must find joy in the learning, being hungry for answers and growth. 🎓
We have to consciously make the mindset shift from the Doubt🫣(See ⬆️) to the Determined ⬇️👑
🌟The Determined declares:
“I will always be learning about this incredible tech world AND I am confident in what I am capable of achieving, creating, and contributing!”😎
Excited to grow alongside and learn from each of you - whether you're a newbie like me or a seasoned expert. Thanks for having me here!

With over 15 years in various Sales-centric roles, I always aim to empower my clients to make purchasing decisions that best suit their unique needs. I do this by creating an environment built on educating, trust, and respect... and a bit of humor, too!
I launched my career in Special Event Management & Hospitality, which included Corporate A/V consulting and planning. After a decade-long career of executing 547 special events - and two babies later, I pivoted to Hotels & Hospitality, where I served as the Director of Sales & Marketing over multiple mid-size properties. Just before the pandemic, I made another unique shift into K12 print book sales, working primarily with school and public libraries curating their Children's/YA collections. Most recently, I made a bold career move entering the Tech world, and have never felt more motivated by what I do! The excitement, the energy, the brilliance - all unmatched!
On the days in between, you can find me hiking/exploring with my two kiddos (and cocker spaniel, Duke), working on home projects, learning Italian on Duolingo, indulging in history, or concocting a new dish.
