Chestermere,AB.

Summary

With diverse industry experience spanning Residential Construction, Oil & Gas, and Mortgages - alongside three years of pragmatic hands-on field experience in Exterior Construction, and four years in Oil & Gas projects across Western and Northern Canada, I bring a proven ability to build and foster professional relationships, coordinate complex projects, and deliver results in pressure environments.

My time with the RCMP, where I underwent one of the most rigorous screening processes and comprehensive training programs, honed my active listening, negotiation and problem solving - traits that are directly applicable to the demands of Sales.

Coupled with an athletic background, I bring a performance mindset rooted in resilience, goal setting, and relentless follow through - key to success in the role of Outside Sales Representative.


I have built a reputation as a dependable, self-starting professional who communicates clearly, manages competing priorities, and always puts service and integrity first.

My strengths are identifying client needs, building trust, and driving growth through persistence and proactive outreach. Whether connecting with long standing relationships in my vast network or forging new ones, I’m energized and seeking to transition into a new field leveraging strong interpersonal and problem-solving abilities to achieve impactful results.
