My journey into medical device started when I was on the med school route, working as a scribe in ERs while finishing my degree. I had done almost a double undergrad because I transferred and played college sports. My uncle, who was an ER doctor in Las Vegas, was a huge influence in my life - more of a father figure to me - and I shadowed him extensively. But I noticed that many surgeons and trauma docs were very anti-anyone going into medicine because of the corporate restrictions, the loan payments, and the interest rates on med school debt. I knew I wanted to be in healthcare, but I didn't love the numbers I was looking at, so I re-evaluated and started asking questions. Someone told me about the pharmaceutical world, which led me to the device side where there were more clinical positions. I invested in the Medical Sales College, a 12-week intensive program that was very good at job placement. After completing it, I came back to Las Vegas where my husband and I had bought our first home. I spent six months straight interviewing and connecting with people on LinkedIn before landing my first role in spine at Globus, where I launched two robotics programs. I was then recruited into pediatric deformity spine, which I absolutely loved - seeing these young children born with massive spinal deformities and being able to provide relief by straightening their spine with growing rods was incredibly rewarding. I worked with Nuvasive from 2021 through the Globus merger in 2024, spending significant time in Utah with Primary Children's and the University of Utah. In 2025, I joined Telebio, where I work in general surgery, plastic surgery, and trauma surgery focusing on soft tissue reconstruction. My role is very clinically heavy on teaching - I work hand-in-hand with surgeons, presenting clinical studies, educating them on clinical data and procedures through peer-to-peer interaction, medical education, cadaver labs, and Grand Rounds. I maintain relationships by being present in surgeries, bringing in product, and serving as a clinical sounding board and troubleshooter in the OR.
