Summary

With over 9+ years of diverse industry experience, I bring a well-rounded perspective to business development, technical sales, and operational support. For the past 3 years, I have been deeply involved in the renewable energy sector, driving growth, building strategic partnerships, and promoting sustainable solutions.

Before that, I spent 3+ years as a Sales & Service Engineer in the storage racking industry, where I managed client relationships, executed technical solutions, and supported key logistics infrastructure projects.

I also have 1.5 years of experience as a Data Support Specialist in the road construction sector, where I oversaw transportation logistics and documentation processes, playing a crucial role in streamlining operations.

My professional journey began as a Web Researcher for a US-based firm, giving me early exposure to data analysis and digital information management.

I thrive in dynamic, impact-driven environments and am passionate about contributing to clean energy, operational efficiency, and business growth.

Let’s connect if you’re in the renewable energy space, logistics, or looking to collaborate on sustainable development initiatives.
