As a new AG-Tech Startup, UVG partners with Agricultural Producers in Australia to assist with technological solutions as well as to help market and sale their products like top quality Australian Wheat.As International Sales Manager, I focus on networking with buyers around the world through cold calls, email campaigns, LinkedIn Networking, etc. to find enough buyers to bring into the UVG Sales Funnel. Once interested customers are identified, I place conference or video calls with them and qualify their interest in Australian Agricultural Crops including tonnage, delivery dates, crop grades, etc. desired. Often times, customers have specific use cases for the crops in terms of manufacturing certain food products and ask many technical questions about the crops. I bring our AG Technical Experts into the calls or email communications to quickly get questions answered so that we can move on with the purchasing steps. Furthermore, I have to communicate with Ports, Shipping Companies, Testing Agencies and other entities involved in the shipping of the products to the customer. Constant communication, team work and great customer service are keys to successful transactions and satisfied customers.

We answered many emails and RFI's, did numerous conference and video calls, and also did the work to research and vet the different organizations and contacts who voiced interest in investing or partnerign with Fortoff.Lastly, I worked with other senior management to review all operational and financial matters and decisions of the company.

I worked as a Mental Health Counselor at University of Colorado Hospital's Northern Pavilion Location, and worked as a Flex Worker, which meant that I would work on any of three Psychiatric Floors of the Hospital in 8 or 16 hour shifts. One floor offered inpatient services to clients who were often homeless, not functioning well in society and/or without any health insurance coverage. A second hospital floor provided services for clients who were often in half-way houses or assisted living situations. The final floor offered mental health services to clients with certain health insurance coverage. My shift roles were to meet with each client on the floor and document our session where we discussed their mental health issue and treatment. Also, I did psychological assessments with clients to determine their current mental health status, and i provided updates and treatment recommendations to the entire treatment team.
