Can you summarise your role at NESA?
I have a few roles within NESA. I manage the group, provide sales within my specific geographic area, a global responsibility relative to cGMP related jobs, consulting and educational seminars across a broad range of industry partners and sectors.
How long have you been at NESA?
I am coming up on a decade with NESA. Time flies!
What do you enjoy most about your job?
Every day is different! My background is science, having spent years working in a BSC in the field of Genetics. I really enjoy connecting with the customers, understanding their science and areas of interest, and providing valuable solutions relative to their work.
What is the most challenging aspect of your role?
I struggle if I can’t meet the specific needs of a customer. Covid created supply chain issues that impacted many facets of our industry. The products we work with are integral to clinical areas, healthcare facilities, research facilities, and drug development efforts. Timelines are critical and supply chain issues has been a source of frustration over the last few years.
How did you get into this profession?
By circumstance! I had left the science world for a few years and redirected my efforts while in graduate school. Deep down, science was a passion and I knew that I wanted to get back into the industry. I applied for this career during a family move and was lucky enough to join the NESA team!
What are you most looking forward to over the next few months?
As conferences and face-to-face interactions have grown post-COVID. Its been great reconnecting with long-time peers and colleagues. I have a few events in the coming months that are finally “on” after a number of years being virtual.
Outside of work, what keeps you busy?
I have 2 busy children that keep me on my toes! I spend time coaching soccer and engaging in community activities. I enjoy trail running to keep active, it allows me some calm moments in between the craziness.
