Learning the Game. Building My Career.
About Me
I grew up crossing borders—new cities, new cultures, and new challenges. Watching my family start from scratch each time taught me how to adapt fast and connect deeply. It also sparked my curiosity about how businesses work globally.
That curiosity led me to earn a degree in International Business from UC San Diego. Along the way, I developed a strong foundation in global markets, strategy, and communication—with a growing interest in tech and how it shapes our world.
Now I’m combining that background with real-world experience to launch my career in tech sales. This site tracks that journey: the skills I’m building, the wins and lessons along the way, and the mindset I’m bringing to the table.
The Journey Begins
Graduation wasn’t the finish line. It was the starting point.
I had the drive, the momentum, and the skills—but no clear direction. After talking with my brother, who works in talent placement, everything clicked. He helped me see that sales was the path that aligned with my strengths: learning fast, building relationships, and navigating different environments.
I took that insight and ran with it—and I haven’t looked back.
Building Skills
To break in, I’ve been doing the work. I use tools like Apollo.io to build lead lists and generative Ai to craft outreach strategies. I’ve created case studies to test, learn, and improve my approach.
I’m also taking courses with Vendition to sharpen my sales fundamentals and outreach tactics.
What sets me apart? I’ve lived and worked across San Diego and Nairobi. I know how to meet people where they are, make them feel heard, and find common ground. I’m ready to bring that to a sales team, contribute from day one, and grow into a top performer.
