Associate Virtual Sales Representative
Americas Services and Software
I pursued a Bachelor's degree in Drafting & Design at ITT Tech in Torrance, California. From the beginning of my career with the Cisco Sales Associate Program (CSAP), I have shown a strong commitment to learning and being open to feedback. I am now ITIL certified in IT Service management, I have taken on challenging assignments and engaged in professional development programs. Some of my notable accomplishments include identifying valuable opportunities in Salesforce (SFDC) and SalesConsole for Service sellers, as well as providing AR reports for the USC West region with leaders. These achievements have led to me being given more responsibilities.
On a more personal note, I am happily married to my veteran spouse, and we are proud parents of four boys. I am passionate about soccer, cricket, and Formula One racing. I strongly believe in the importance of teamwork, being open to change, and enjoying what you do. These are values that I pass on to my children.
