What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a position as a Technical Sales Representative within the Biotechnology, Pharmaceutical, and Medical Device industry.

At Cytiva, I was responsible for the imaging portfolio for protein research and western blot, including Amersham ImageQuant and Typhoon Imagers. I finished fiscal year 2025 at 114% to plan for western blot and imaging consumables.

At ACD (a Bio-Techne Brand), I was responsible for the RNAscope spatial biology portfolio and New England academic accounts. I reached 103% to plan in Q2 2024.

At Axion BioSystems, I sold instrumentation for real-time cell activity assays, MEA analysis, and multiwell imaging. I reached 120% to plan in 2020 and 170% in the first half of 2023.

Earlier, at Lonza, I sold products including primary cells, endotoxin technology, nucleofection, and stem cells. I finished 2015 at 118% to plan, and my related biotechnology background includes molecular and cell biology, imaging, and western blot.
