01 / About me

Before sales,
there was football

Started Playing at 11. By 14, I was captain of my senior team. From then on, I captained every team I played for. I represented my high school and college and played club football in PAK, USA, and the UAE.

PAKUSAUAE

Football took me through PAK, USA, and finally the UAE. It gave me something to work toward and a team to lead. Then I tore my ACL in Dubai.

After that, I felt lost. For so long, football had been such a big part of who I was. I didn't know where to put that drive.

I tried a few different paths before I found sales.

I feel like I can run, score, celebrate, and lead a team again.

I'm still early in this chapter, but that feeling is back. I have something I want to get better at, and I'm putting in the work.

I take the reps seriously. Ask questions, listen to feedback, and put it into practice. I'm early in my career, and I'm building a track record through the work.
