Professional Background
Personal Profile
I'm a life sciences professional with a background in biomedical science and business analytics, focused on specialty pharmaceutical sales across the Atlanta and Carolinas territories.
Before entering the pharmaceutical industry, I built my marketing foundation conducting market research for a SaaS startup in the reverse logistics space. This experience sharpened my analytical capabilities before I joined Hikma Pharmaceuticals as a Marketing Intern. I contributed to the pre-launch strategy for a $116M branded product and followed it all the way through commercialization. This experience gave me insight into the product lifecycle, including what it takes to bring a product to market, and served as a natural bridge into the sales role I hold today.
I bring an analytical lens to everything I do. I've built custom tools to track sales performance and supply status across my territory, turning data into decisions. I've also led training for 20+ sales representatives on vancomycin pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics, helping the team to feel confident walking into clinically complex conversations.
Where science meets business, I'm driven by the work that creates a real impact, helping deliver the right treatments to the patients who need them most.
