With over 10 years of experience in sales, partner development, and business development, I am passionate about creating and cultivating strategic relationships with universities, firms, and associations in the financial services and education sectors. As the National Director of Academic Partnerships at CeriFi, I leverage my intimate knowledge of the higher education ecosystem and the financial industry to deliver innovative solutions that enhance learning outcomes and career opportunities for students and professionals.At CeriFi, I have successfully partnered with universities across the country on exam preparation and aligned institutional firms within the university channel for targeted recruitment. Previously, at Kaplan Professional, I launched a new product, the Securities Industry Essentials (SIE) Exam, and built valuable relationships with finance professors, department chairs, and deans. I also have extensive experience in selling directly to school district personnel (k12) and securing large contracts across the Northeast. I hold a B.S. in Design from Lynn University and remain active in the alumni community. My specialties include sales management, sales operations, sales process, and consumer marketing.
