Tell me about yourself.

"Since graduating with my bachelor's degree in business management, I've spent the early portion of my career in technology sales and have really started to thrive in recent years. Now I want to take the next step in my career and work toward making a big difference in the lives of many people, so I'm excited to be considered here in pharmaceutical sales. I was born and raised in the metro suburbs here and grew up passionate about sports and creative activities. I've played softball, basketball, and volleyball through high school and I have always thrived in a team-based environment. I met my husband in college and we are currently raising our young children in the same area we grew up in to be close to grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. Family is very important to us and we don't see us ever leaving this area. In my free time, I still play recreational softball and we love to spend time outdoors. We love to camp, canoe, fish, and hike as much as possible."
