I reside in Illinois with my husband and 2 pomskies, Thor and Zena. I earned a bachelor's degree in chemistry, master's in leadership studies, and Master of Business Administration from North Central College in Naperville, Illinois. Following my MBA, I obtained a Doctor of Business Administration degree from Saint Leo University. During my free time, I enjoy traveling with my husband and visiting family in Tampa.
Over a 12-year period, I gained valuable professional experience working for several large organizations. I began my professional career working for BreakThru Beverage Illinois, one of Illinois largest wholesale distributors. As an On-Premises Sales Consultant, I had the opportunity to launch a number of blockbuster medications. Currently, I serve as a Vision Territory Manager for Bausch + Lomb, calling on optometrists. In this role, I represent an expansive portfolio of medical devices to support vision care needs.
