Summary

Over the past 5 years in the car industry, automotive sales has become my absolute passion. I put my heart and soul into every single day and I love everything about the job. I have worked in almost every department including technician, detailer, photographer, lot attendant, and now professional sales.


I am very excited to advance my career in BC and to explore all the new opportunities the move will bring! My experience, skills, hard work ethic, and positive attitude, make me an asset for any professional team sharing the same values.
