About me

I'm thrilled to embark on this educational journey. With 7+ years of experience in sales development and B2B, I bring a wealth of skills and insights to the table. Beyond work, I recently entered a new chapter as a newlywed, tying the knot just last month. My passion for engines makes me not only a biker but also a proud car racer girl, always seeking new thrills.

I also learned the value of using positive language, smiling while speaking, and confirming information to avoid misunderstandings. Handling calls professionally, especially difficult ones, requires patience, empathy, and clear communication.
