Summary

With a strong foundation in biology and extensive experience in high-end hospitality, I bring a unique blend of scientific knowledge, interpersonal communication, and operational leadership to every role I pursue. My time at the University of Central Arkansas—where I earned a B.S. in Biology and conducted published research presented at the American Chemical Society Conference—honed my analytical thinking and data interpretation skills. Simultaneously, my years in hospitality management taught me how to deliver exceptional client experiences, lead teams, and adapt swiftly under pressure.
Throughout my roles as a tutor, research assistant, and hospitality manager, I’ve consistently demonstrated an ability to connect with people, solve problems in real-time, and communicate value effectively—core competencies that directly align with success in medical sales. I am now actively seeking opportunities to leverage my scientific acumen, customer-focused mindset, and results-driven work ethic in a dynamic medical sales environment.
