About
I am a salesperson and managed my own sales division for almost 8 years however. I am also an independent licensed Peer Support Specialist. My passion is to help people whether it be navigating the path of recovery or helping individuals figure out how to reintegrate back into society after incarceration.
Experience
I started working in sales when i was 14. I learned fast and worked in call centers for a few years and soon became the lead salesman in my company. I ventured out to a new position at a company called ACE (Attitude Changes Everything) and became the sales manager there for almost 10 years.
My best friend who owned the company passed away and the company closed. I lost my career and soon found myself unemployed with a family to take care of. Being that I struggled with an addiction to pain medication prescribed from my DR I had to change my life.
I did just that and decided I wanted to help others do the same. I became a licensed Peer Support Specialist in 2023 and have been helping individuals change their lives ever since.
Education
