Biography

As the Founder + CEO of MedTech Collective, a boutique consultancy & sales/leadership coaching firm in the medical device industry, specifically focusing on women in medical device, I help companies build dynamic, integrated sales teams, and support women in sales along their professional journeys.

Why CLAS?

Every facet of my professional life is influenced by my liberal arts degrees–from understanding movement patterns and spatial awareness when in the operating room, to the core science and physiology knowledge that is drawn on in those medical settings, to the leadership and people skills that I use in my daily coaching.

Looking forward, specifically within the allied health careers, the understanding of how to apply your knowledge in non-traditional professional roles will be key. Our worlds are no longer linear paths from degrees to jobs, and that agility is a necessary skill for future success.
