ABOUT

I am motivated, goal oriented, competitive and enjoy working as part of a team to achieve corporate objectives. I am organized and hard-working and my goal is to consistently exceed expectations. I am flexible and an adept learner who enjoys connecting with customers to deliver compelling disease education and product information to drive product use and help patients in need of treatment. Having stepped out of the professional work force in July 2011, I am ready to return to work in the biopharmaceutical industry.

EXPERIENCE

At Home Mom, Camarillo, California & Oakville, Ontario Canada July 2011-Present

I have spent the past ten years working as a stay-at-home mom, helping my three children successfully navigate school, sports, music, student leadership, travel, international moves and generally growing up to be great kids.

I left my Executive Sales Representative position at Sanofi when my youngest child was one and subsequently volunteered at Rancho Rosal Elementary school several times a week for four years.

In 2015 we moved to Toronto, Canada on an Expat assignment for my husband’s work. After successfully managing the details of an international move, I continued to volunteer in my children’s new schools for the three years we were in Canada.

Returning to California in 2018 I again managed the cross border move and resettled our family in Newbury Park.

Throughout my time outside of the professional work force I have focused on my kid’s growth during our transitions from one country to another, consistently volunteered at their schools to actively contribute to our local community. This time afforded me the opportunity to experience living in a new country, gaining new perspectives, and allowed me to teach my children firsthand lessons in change in resiliency.
