When I started my career, I was a full-time Mom driving a truck for FedEx. My brother inspired me to do more and achieve more. With his encouragement, I returned to school as a non-traditional student later in life and earned my bachelors in marketing. I was referred to a position in pharmaceutical sales and absolutely love what I do. When I am not focused on work, an interesting fact about me is that I own and operate a salsa company that is distributed throughout Utah in Whole Foods. I also enjoy golfing, hiking, biking, swimming, skiing and traveling. I love spending time with family and friends and really enjoy cooking. I recently went to Greece, Italy and France.
