Originally from Nashville, TN, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Finance and Marketing from The University of Alabama.I began my career in the healthcare billing services industry, where I developed a strong foundation in leadership, communication, and analytical thinking. From there, I pivoted into sales through an internship with State Farm, gaining firsthand experience in relationship building and client-focused solutions.Most recently, I’ve been working in the SaaS space at Stampli, where I started as a Sales Development Representative. In that role, I drove pipeline growth and refined a consultative sales approach tailored to finance and operations teams.
