Right after college, I moved to a ski town near Wyoming thinking I just wanted to ski and work whatever job would allow me to ski during the day, but I found that really unfulfilling. That sparked my ambition because I wanted a really fulfilling job. I started working in a hydroponic greenhouse where I got to take notes in meetings across different industries, and I learned that the sales meetings were what I was most excited about. I then started doing sales for a local granola bar company, which was partially remote and partially in person, giving me an introduction to remote work that I really liked. I sold more there than anyone ever had in that position. I realized I really wanted to keep doing both sales and remote work since I'm in such a rural place, so I started applying for fully remote sales positions. I ended up at Yelp in September 2022 from a referral from someone I went to high school with. I didn't plan to stay for a really long time, but I did really well as a sales rep and eventually took on a team 2 years ago. Now I manage 10 sales reps and find it really fulfilling. I'm definitely a newer manager learning a lot about how to push people and challenge them to become better versions of themselves, and learning how to be more direct. I also have a TikTok that I'm really excited about centered around sales and leadership, focused on empowering women, which is where I'm getting a lot of fulfillment outside of work.
