What is my why?! - My why is my daughter, Jusslynn. I wake up every day and strive to be the best to ensure she is taken care of.

How does my role help Swan achieve its mission? My role as director of sales is very important to me, and it's a role that requires me to push not only myself but my team to close new business and ensure that our customers are taken care of and growing. The growth of these existing customers and the push to always obtain new business is what will push Swan into the next level of growth :)

What level of expert am I? I started Swan in January 2015 with no experience at all. With the guidance of Marcos and Jason, I was headed to closing deals and climbing up the top in just under a year. I moved over to freight forwarding to learn everything international in 2020. In late 2022 I returned to Swan, and now I'm the Director of Sales. My goal is to grow the amazing sales team and prove to new and existing customers why they should choose Swan.

What am I passionate about outside of the office?! Well, besides living and breathing logistics, I love to travel and soon my daughter will be alongside me, and we will both be exploring the world together :)
