Fortune 10
I get to do meaningful work and help people EVERYDAY. I am currently working as a pharmaceutical representative at a Fortune company : I am a 9 figure sales generator in Healthcare and Technology. My background is selling specialty medications for one of the Top 10 largest companies in the US focusing on specialty therapies in Southern California. I work with high volume institutions, private practice physicians, prescribers and providers.
Technology + Startup + Military
My first real job after college was at a Tech Startup: Travelling all over the US and meeting with key decision makers, buyers and learning about startup. My interest + fascination for innovation, startup and tech started here. Servant leadership is important: I spent 4 years active duty after 9/11 in the United States Navy and was stationed at Port Hueneme, Ventura County, Virginia Beach, Virginia and Great Lakes, Illinois.
Creative
Big Rolodexx is my new baby! It is an interview based podcast on entrepreneurship, business and mindset. I am passionate about amplifying the voices behind the brands and businesses in LA, NYC and London: My belief is that it requires an extraordinary amount of courage to create anything.
“Who you become is more important than what you accomplish.
That who you are is more important than what you do…”
— Pastor Erwin Mcmanus
Big Rolodexx is my heart on a platform: Also, with many other ideas that never came into fruition. Being a super introvert, dealing with social anxieties and struggling to find my own voice my entire life - ironically, this podcast was born. My belief is that we all have gifts and talents to share with the world: it has been the struggles in my life that I recognize the need to HIGHLIGHT, SUPPORT and be a VOICE for others to AMPLIFY THEIR OWN VOICES and it is that intention behind Big Rolodexx - that this platform will be a sounding board of voices and connections to move you closer to everything that you are building and creating.
It is an interview based podcast connecting you to creative entrepreneurs, movers and shakers - to INSPIRE, ENCOURAGE and EDUCATE. To level up requires a whole new you: You have the opportunity to create yourself everyday. You must create yourself.
It is a place to amplify the voices, that know it is only through your own unique contributions and talents that can truly contribute to the world and continue moving it and making it a better place the way only YOU CAN.
THE GREATEST GIFT YOU CAN GIVE TO ANOTHER PERSON IS TO BELIEVE IN THEM.
“ One does not become enlightened by imagining figures of light, but by making the darkness conscious.” - Carl Jung
“there will come a day, when you will have to stop running and look at the person in the mirror and stop lying to yourself. that what you have to say and do is worth pursuing or else you will die. also, be kind - it shows through your eyes.” xx
