I make sure that all of my customers and accounts know that I am available should a situation ever arise.I bring a breadth of experience selling pharmaceutical products and diagnostic screening tools. I have successfully launched numerous products, as well managed products through their normal life cycle. These products have included blockbusters such as Lyrica (neuropathic pain), Zocor (hyperlipidemia), Cozaar (hypertension), and Januvia (diabetes). I have also dealt with a blockbuster product recall (Vioxx). This has taught me to build successful franchises, manage temporary setbacks, make strategic adjustments as necessary, and continue to grow the business. Through this, I have earned 6 VP Awards (recognizing the top 10% nationally) and recognition in the Merck Sales Hall of Fame for sales success and greater than 5 VP Awards.My areas of experience have included Cardiology, Endocrinology, Gastroenterology, Pulmonology, Allergy, ENT, Nephrology, Neurology, Orthopedics, Pediatrics, Pain Management, Hospital, and DoD accounts.

Another of my strengths is data analysis. I have had the additional duty of regional business analyst and I have assisted other representatives in analytics training. I am confident in my ability to interpret the numbers.I honed leadership skills as a platoon leader in the US Army before my sales career began. Although I don’t command a unit any more, I am still influential and lead by setting an example of professionalism with both my peers and leadership.
