I wanted to work on a variety of different projects and help pharmaceutical companies to be successful in bringing their products and patients in need. At the same time, I have a busy family life and I like to travel to see family often so the flexibility of being able to work anywhere is important to me.
Something that many people that work in the pharmaceuticals do not know about me is that I was a professional dancer and dance teacher. I still dance 3 nights a week. Ballet and tap mostly now, though I was a ballet and jazz dancer as a professional.
My favorite rule to live by is to only concern yourself with what I can control. it helps me to be more more effective because I use my time to control everything I can and don't waste my time worrying about things I can't control.
I speak English, Spanish, and French. French, I learned from Tahitian friends living in Hawaii. Spanish, I learned from visiting Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic over many years and speaking it at home when my daughter was little (her dad is Latino). And I find it comical that although I went to Japanese school for seven years as a child, I unfortunately don't speak Japanese at all.

Of the strong focus on the work/life balance and flexibility. I believe we should work to live and not the other way around.
My most rewarding professional role would be a prior role as a PM supporting Consent Decree and Plant Certification activities. Our teams literally have the future of the company, and the millions of consumers that rely on their products, in their hands. It is challenging, but at the same time rewarding to make as much progress as we have made in such a short period of time.
Understand that there are pluses and minuses to being a consultant, just as there are for being an “employee.” Many people may have concerns about being a consultant, but at the same time overlook the benefits.

At the time my twins were ready to start school, I needed to help support the family financially. However, when the financial need was no longer needed, I could not bring myself to leave a company that I had grown to admire and love working for so much.
