Bio/Description

After graduating from Princeton, I began my career in sales, becoming the first sales hire at a software startup. There, I established the company's sales foundation and helped the company achieve 17x revenue growth during my tenure.

The transition from studying religion to sales felt surprisingly natural. My coursework in the Religion Department at Princeton emphasized relentless curiosity, questioning of assumptions, and clear, persuasive communication. These skills – among many others – have proven invaluable in my success as a sales professional.

I now work as an Account Executive at Google, partnering with advertisers to drive meaningful business growth.

Studying religion has also served as a valuable conversation starter with colleagues, clients, friends, and family, often leading to engaging and thought-provoking discussions.
