At Abbott Laboratories, I provide leadership within an $11M Cardiac Rhythm Management territory and help drive sales execution, account strategy, and clinical excellence. I maintained year-over-year growth from 2020 to 2025, and converted a strategic hospital account that grew 217% in 2025, generating $650K in annual growth.

I also coached teammates and partnered with hospital leaders and physicians to secure product approvals and support adoption of Abbott technologies, including Aveir™ Leadless Pacemaker. Earlier at Abbott, I moved a South Florida territory from the bottom 10% to the top 10% nationally within eight months. I'm an IBHRE Certified Cardiac Device Specialist with an MBA and a master's in biomedical sciences.
