About Me

I build lasting relationships with teams, partners, and clients through genuine connection and a people-first approach. As a trusted advisor to my clients, I consistently drive revenue growth and enhance profitability while maintaining focus on delivering exceptional value.

My journey began at the University of Arizona in 2002, pursuing my lifelong fascination with science. During my freshman summer, I interned with Dr. David Borba, a Phoenix Prosthodontist, gaining invaluable insights into both clinical dentistry and business operations that would shape my professional outlook.

My career in sales began at Bell Ford, where I established a strong foundation in sales fundamentals. I later advanced to a Fitness Sales Manager role at a health club, where I discovered my passion for helping others achieve their goals through consultative selling and knowledge sharing.

In 2014, I transitioned to medical device sales, managing capital equipment and consumable sales to hospital operating rooms and surgical centers nationwide. My responsibilities expanded to overseeing national sales teams and international distributors, representing the company at trade shows, conducting clinical trials with surgeons, and delivering product presentations to key purchasing organizations.

From 2021 to December 2024, I served as an Account Manager at Avnet, helping medical device and biotech innovators bring their intellectual property to market through integrated hardware and software solutions. This role combined my technical knowledge, sales expertise, and strategic thinking to deliver comprehensive solutions for complex challenges.

Currently, I work with the Eller Partnership Office at the University of Arizona, where I connect businesses with top-tier academic talent to address critical challenges including technological disruption and workforce development. This role allows me to leverage my business development experience while creating meaningful partnerships between industry and education.

I completed my MBA with a concentration in Finance from the University of Arizona in May 2024, complementing my extensive professional experience and strengthening my capabilities as a business leader committed to making a meaningful impact in my community.
