- Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify complex topics and build trust quickly in sensitive situations.
- Demonstrated hunter mentality with a proactive approach to pipeline generation and follow-up discipline.
- High emotional intelligence and resilience when working with families in crisis or high-stress circumstances.
