   I am a Sales Engineer out of Beckhoff Automation\'s Boston office. My sales territory includes the southern half of Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Long Island, NY, and I work in industries such as packaging, intralogistics, lab automation, pharmaceutical, entertainment, and more.I previously trained in Chicago, IL as an associate sales engineer for Beckhoff during my time in the Talent Development Program. This role includes engaging in prospecting for new business, working with customers to help them achieve their goals, and finding new, valuable solutions to technical problems. I have been trained in the commercial discovery sales process, TwinCAT 3, and crucial conversations, allowing me to better assist and help customers meet their goals and become differentiators in their industries.I have had the pleasure of mentoring two interns in summer 2025 as part of Beckhoff\'s internship program.
