Summary

Dynamic and results-driven professional with over 14 years of experience in the healthcare field, specializing in physical therapy, patient education, and rehabilitation. Proven ability to communicate effectively with healthcare teams and patients, providing exceptional care. Seeking to leverage strong interpersonal skills and healthcare expertise in a medical sales role.

In my role as a physical therapist assistant, selling physical therapy modalities to patients parallels the principles of medical sales. Just as in medical sales where the goal is to demonstrate the value and benefits of a product to healthcare professionals, I must effectively communicate the advantages of specific modalities to patients.

This involves understanding their needs, addressing their concerns, and showing how the modalities can improve their recovery outcomes.

This experience has honed my ability to present complex information clearly and persuasively, a skill that is directly transferable to medical sales roles.
