Scientific distribution sales representative in Dallas, TX.The sales position with VWR International, LLC was an outside general sales representative in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. My customer accounts varied from advanced university research laboratories and institutions to one-man chemical blending operations to municipal water and waste treatment facilities. I started at VWR as an associate sales representative in June 2007, and was promoted to sales representative in October 2007, at which time I became responsible for the territory. During my time with VWR, account growth was stabilized (no longer receding), and began growing. The largest account and primary focus was the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, approximately 65% of the territory’s budget. Despite our largest competitor being the incumbent supplier, I used a customer centric sales approach, coupled with past research experience and knowledge to grow the account approximately 10% in total revenue and 23% in gross margin. Overall territory growth for the final 4 months was very positive, varying from 10-45% depending on the account.

Primary Investigator: Dr. Julian Leibowitz, MD., Ph.D.Laboratory Focus: Coronavirus Biology, Transcriptional RegulationMy primary research was focused on the vectoral release of Coronavirus viral particles from polarized epithelial cells. Specifically, we focused on determining if specific viral protein(s) are responsible for the vectoral release, as well as identifying the specific cellular machinery utilized for both apical and/or basolateral release of viral particles. Additionally, I developed a reverse genetics system for Murine hepatitis virus strain 1 (MHV-1), one of the model viruses used to study SARS. Finally, I directed the projects of several undergraduate research students as well as supervised several student workers.During my tenure, I was a contributing author to two peer reviewed publications.
