Moved from Peru and started working in the Swap Meet at 8 years old in order to stay financially afloat. Later managed my own stand in middle school and separately built an e-commerce business in order to help pay for college. Graduated in Electrical Engineering and pivoted to the fun world of sales shortly after.

I joined BearCom as an Account Executive helping grow their Southern California market. Transitioned to tech sales joining Confluent as their first Commercial SDR supporting Central, LATAM, and Canada. Got promoted to an AE for the StartUps & Emerging businesses in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Then later to the Digital Native & Growth supporting companies in Los Angeles, Orange County, and San Francisco. I made the jump into the AI vector database space by joining Pinecone as a Strategic AE where I now support all kinds of companies deploying AI applications to their internal and external customers.

Outside of work I enjoy playing pickleball, sometimes bluffing all-in in poker, and discovering the best food spots in the city.
