One of my proudest achievements is hiking up Mt Fuji in the pouring rain with a burning fever. I do not recommend it by any means, but that experience gave me the belief that every mountain no matter how big, no matter the conditions, can be conquered by putting one foot in front of the other.After a short stint in the environmental consulting industry, I realized the spark of what makes life engaging and fulfilling lied elsewhere. This led me to pursue a career in the sales profession as I wanted to embrace the social aspects of connecting with clients, leading with empathy, and discovering ways I can help solve their problems.Life's mysterious ways have now led me onto a new adventure into the world of technology and startups. During my time as one of the initial members of a brand new Startup, I had my first taste of selling which really ignited my passion for the art.Outside of work, I love getting lost in fantasy worlds whether that's in a game, a book, or a movie. Storytelling is at the heart of every sales conversation and there are no better teachers than these authors and creators.
