I grew up in an immigrant family where hard work was the primary focus, and school often took a backseat. Struggling through my education, I was fortunate to receive the opportunity to play collegiate soccer, which became my gateway to pursuing a college education. College, however, didn’t just offer athletic opportunities; it introduced me to a whole new world—the fascinating science of anatomy, movement, and how the human body functions.

This sparked a deep interest in combining my passion for helping others with my newfound love for understanding the body. I dedicated myself to my studies, earned my Doctorate in Physical Therapy, and began a journey to make a real difference in people’s lives. Over the past 13 years, I had the privilege of serving as a managing partner at Arizona's largest private physical therapy company. Building the business from the ground up was no easy feat, but my drive to help others and create something meaningful kept me motivated. I mentored numerous therapists, treated thousands of patients, and built lasting relationships with physicians, which contributed to fostering a culture of excellence. This culture impacted the lives of our patients and set a high standard for the clinics we were developing.

After the company was sold to private equity, I reflected on my journey. With 15 years of mentoring, patient care, and business growth behind me, I was ready for a new challenge—one that would allow me to impact healthcare in a different way. Medical sales caught my attention as the perfect fit. My background in healthcare, understanding of physician operations, business acumen and strong work ethic make me well-suited for this transition. I thrive in high-performance environments and, most importantly, I’m a people person who understands that success comes from the effort you put in. I’m excited to bring my skills to this new chapter and contribute to a team focused on having a greater impact on patients’ lives.
