Her Story
About Angela
Angela Carter serves as a territory sales consultant with Oasis Medical, a role she began in May. She brings 15 years of experience in the ophthalmology and optometry industry, having started her career as a receptionist at a small optometry practice. From there, she grew her knowledge and pursued opportunities in medical device sales, navigating from clinical settings into corporate roles that allow her to partner with eye care providers. Although she holds a journalist degree, Angela chose healthcare because of her desire to impact people's lives through their health. She was captivated by optometry after falling into the field, recognizing how profoundly it can change lives by improving vision. In her current position, Angela facilitates partnerships between Oasis Medical and doctor partners, guiding buying processes, enhancing patient experiences, and serving as a resource on tools and solutions for eye care providers. She notes that one of the biggest challenges in her field is maintaining momentum despite rejections without taking them personally.

Ten minutes with Angela
01What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
The biggest challenge is not getting in your head. Not letting one no or one rejection blow your momentum, and not taking it personal, because everybody's on their own journey of understanding and of wanting to embrace something new, some form of change. But I think it's just not getting in your head and not letting small rejections stop your full progress.
