Associate Director, Inside Sales

Natera

My professional journey in the dynamic healthcare industry has been shaped by a profound commitment to driving customer/patient excellence, fostering high-performing teams, and leveraging data to create impactful changes. Currently I’m an Associate Director, Inside Sales at Natera, my vision there is: to cultivate a results-driven, patient-centric sales organization where accountability and ethical excellence are key. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of being a change agent at Sema4 and Scipher Medicine, building expertise across several key areas that align directly with this program’s mission.

​For example, I led the launch of onboarding and development programs in Inside Sales, Customer Success, and Client Services, resulting in measurable improvements in team performance. My approach to leadership is marked by consistently fostering intellectual growth & transformation, creating systems for idea generation, and translating data insights into strategic improvements, which contribute to my transformational leadership style. As a certified Lean Six Sigma Green Belt, I am committed to continuous improvement, always seeking to identify gaps and create innovative solutions.

In my career, one of the greatest lessons I’ve consistently reinforced is to push past my limitations. Maya Angelou’s words resonate deeply: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.” I am eager to share my expertise to inspire women leaders to lead with purpose, confidence, and transformative impact.
