Summary
I am a pharmaceutical sales representative that possesses a lethal combination of expertise in the life sciences and robust customer service/communication skills. This has allowed to compete with those that have far more experience than I do, and mentor newcomers unfamiliar with the trends and nuances of the medical industry. As someone that loves travel, I would thrive with the interim coverage requirement for the role, and am confident I can beat the learning curve associated with the position.
