  As a world leader in diabetes/obesity care, Novo Nordisk's mission is to change the course of diabetes and obesity. I contributed my efforts towards this goal for almost 14 years in the South Florida Diabetes and Obesity markets. My MISSION is to help people living with chronic illnesses using the resources and products at my disposal. My COMMITMENT to Novo Nordisk was to maximize product utilization while positioning us as leaders of care amongst my stakeholders. My RESPONSIBILITIES included partnering with known/emerging stakeholders, promoting Obesity education/advocacy, and the implementation of sales strategies to effectively grow my market while promoting Novo Nordisk’s portfolio to physicians, pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare customers.I have demonstrated leadership and decision-making skills which drive performance at local and regional levels. I have a strong understanding of the cardio-metabolic disease, Novo Nordisk’s portfolio, and the role our therapies play in the life of patients and their health care practitioners. These skills coupled with an aptitude for learning and the ability to communicate technical and scientific product/disease management information to potential customers resulted in a consistent and well proven track record of winning sales results.One of my additional strengths is navigating sales data to uncover potential areas of growth. I am known by my peers to share this aptitude with others and elevate my team's success by helping them uncovering new strategies to drive performance. I am able to strategically evaluate options and make decisions with minimal supervision in both team, pod, and solitary work settings. My winning attitude, leaderless-leader mentality, and genuine passion for making a difference in the lives of patients drives me to be the best.

• Florida House of Representatives

  • Aug 2005 - May 2007

  While attending Florida State University and earning my BA in Business, I interviewed and was selected for an internship opportunity with Florida House Representative Rene Garcia of Hialeah (Currently The Florida State Senator Representing the 38th District, Miami-Dade County). I was exposed to several aspects of the Health Care Industry due to Rep. Garcia's dedication to Florida's ongoing involvement in Health Care Reform. I handled an array of activities ranging from legislative research, project management, correspondence with constituents, and bill presentation in addition to ordinary day to day activities. The skills and work ethic I learned managing this opportunity and a full course load simultaneously, has molded me into the outgoing, knowledgable, companionate, and hard working individual I am today.
