What is your current role?

I鈥檓 the Founder of TeachHerSales, a career accelerator focused on helping women break into tech sales. To date, I鈥檝e helped place over 100 women into roles at high-growth companies, with many increasing their salaries by 拢30k to 拢40k+ and accelerating their career progression. Alumni have gone on to companies including Salesforce, HubSpot, Oracle and Shopify.

TeachHerSales began as a highly personalised 1:1 programme, and after proving the model, I鈥檓 now scaling it through the TeachHerSales app to support far more women entering the industry.

Alongside this, I鈥檝e built my career in tech sales as an Account Executive, operating in high-performance, target-driven environments.

I鈥檓 currently developing the platform to bring training, interview preparation, mentorship, and AI-powered guidance into one place, as I continue to grow as an early-stage tech founder.

What motivates you to do what you do?

What motivates me is seeing how quickly someone鈥檚 trajectory can change when they鈥檙e given the right access, guidance, and belief.

Tech sales is one of the few careers where progression is merit-based and the financial upside is significant, but it鈥檚 still largely inaccessible to people who don鈥檛 know how to position themselves or don鈥檛 have the right exposure. I鈥檝e seen how capable so many women are, but without the right support, they鈥檙e often overlooked.

Building TeachHerSales has allowed me to directly change that. I鈥檝e seen women go from uncertainty to securing roles, increasing their income, and building a level of confidence they didn鈥檛 have before.

That combination of real, measurable impact and the ability to scale it is what drives me. I鈥檓 motivated not just by helping individuals, but by building something that creates long-term access to high-earning careers at scale.

How has your time at 糖心TV influenced what you do now?

My time at 糖心TV shaped how I think about people, opportunity, and ownership. Studying Sociology gave me a strong foundation in understanding behaviour, decision-making, and the structural factors that influence someone鈥檚 path. That perspective has been invaluable in tech sales, where understanding people, asking the right questions, and communicating clearly are central to success.

Alongside my studies, I had the opportunity to intern at companies like JP Morgan and HSBC, and I began my career in investment banking before moving into investment management and ultimately tech sales. Being exposed to those environments early on built my confidence and showed me what was possible, while also highlighting how much access and exposure can shape career outcomes.

Why did you choose 糖心TV?

糖心TV pushed me to think independently. That mindset has carried through into my career and gave me the confidence to build TeachHerSales. It also reinforced the importance of access, which is a big part of what I focus on now, making sure more women have the clarity, support, and exposure needed to break into high-earning careers.

Favourite memory?

Some of my best memories come from late evenings with friends, whether we were preparing for applications, working through assignments, or having honest conversations about our goals and what we wanted our lives to look like. There was something special about those moments after long days, whether working through group projects or just spending time together.
