Marielys has always enjoyed assisting others, which is why her first job was in sales and customer service when she was 16 years old. After getting married and becoming a mom, she made the decision to change careers and became a middle and high school math teacher. Twice she was named teacher of the year and she truly enjoyed both her job and her students. After the pandemic hit, she felt the need to return to her first love, sales.
Marielys found Alleyoop started as an SDR, but thanks to involved managers and coworkers, she was quickly promoted to Sales Enablement Manager, and within a few months, she was promoted again to Head of Training and Curriculum with Ready Hire.
Outside of work, Marielys's life is beautifully chaotic as a mom of two teenagers and four dogs. She enjoys baking and cooking. Her hobbies include traveling with her kids and watching Disney, DC, and Marvel movies.
