Q: How did founding the Future Women in Business Organization (FWBO) influence your career path and perspective?A: FWBO started as a passion project. A little background: my parents owned multiple businesses in the Philippines, so entrepreneurship is in my blood. At two years old, I remember cutting shells from my grandmother%u2019s lamp with her permission and selling them for a few pesos to kids in our neighborhood. By 16, I was buying knock-off Nike sneakers from China and selling them door-to-door to family, neigh,bors, and friends. I even made enough to help my parents pay the mortgage for a few months.Founding FWBO was never about me; it was about helping other women. By partnering with larger organizations like the National Women in Business Organization (NWBO), I wanted to build a network to support women entering the workforce, teaching them to leverage their skills and make a name for themselves.Q: How has your background in personal training and nutrition consulting influenced your approach in medical sales?A: My background in personal training and nutrition consulting influenced my approach in medical sales because both fields are focused on helping others. My sales experience as a personal trainer, along with my knowledge of anatomy and physiology, made for a smooth transition. Q: What initially drew you to medical sales, and what do you find most rewarding about working in this field?A: I was drawn to medical sales by the impact the devices I sell have on patient care and outcomes. Helping others has always been my mission. The most rewarding part of being a medical device representative is interacting with brilliant people and hearing how my devices have saved lives.Q: Can you describe your experience working with Phoenix Children%u2019s Hospital on pediatric spine deformity cases?A: Absolutely! It was one of the most memorable and eye-opening parts of my career. It helped me become a knowledgeable representative of my products and services, and I have a soft spot for kids. Seeing my device improve their outcomes has profoundly shaped how I view this industry. It was one of the most rewarding experiences of my life.Q: What has been the most meaningful lesson from your decade-long career in the medical sales industry?A: The most meaningful lesson I%u2019ve learned is to never give up. You%u2019ll face challenges, like rejection or things not going as planned. Keep going, stay resilient, and always be kind.MOST MAGAZINE - ISSUE 62 11
