I have been the Director of Business Development at VitalRads since August of 2023.
How did you come to work at VitalRADS? What was your career path leading up to this?
I was in Animal Health Pharmaceuticals for 20 years prior to joining Thrive Pet Healthcare, where I was VP of Business Development, leading a team that was buying veterinary hospitals around the US. I did that until joining the VitalRads team to lead their sales efforts.
What initially attracted you to this industry or field?
I have spent my career in sales/sales management, and I have always loved animals. In 2004, I ran across the opportunity to combine them, and I took it. 😊
What do you find most rewarding or enjoyable about your work?
Through advanced medical care, helping to strengthen the bond between pets and pet owners, as well as extend the lives of our beloved pets.
What do you like to do outside of work?
What are your hobbies or passions? Well, I have a 1 yr. old granddaughter, Lucy, and I take as much of her time as she will give her Papa. I also love home projects, from woodworking to gardening. I enjoy playing piano, basketball, and enjoy car restoration/mechanical projects.
