What I bring

Built for early-stage teams that need to move fast

I'm not looking for a managed role with a playbook. I'm looking for a team where I can figure things out and execute.

📬
Outbound sales
Cold email sequences, LinkedIn outreach, cold calling. Ran full outbound motion at Copygen.ai — ICP research, sequences, HubSpot, booking demos.
🤖
AI-powered ops
I've deployed OpenClaw AI agents including an automated BDR system. I understand what early-stage GTM teams can automate — and how to do it.
📊
Digital marketing
Interned at NextAfter, a B2B fundraising consultancy. A/B testing, donor behavior analysis, campaign optimization, data-driven reporting.
⚡
Fast learner
NCAA D2 athlete. I know how to compete, take feedback, and keep improving. I pick up tools, processes, and people fast.
🌎
Bilingual
Native Spanish, fluent English. Spanish-speaking market is a bonus in Phoenix and across Latin America-focused GTM plays.
💼
No babysitting needed
I figure things out. If I don't know something I learn it. I don't need a manager to write my task list — just a goal and context.
