“At Lilly, we are servant leaders in our professional and personal careers. As professionals, we make it our mission to serve people with serious illnesses in a selfless capacity to ensure that we can enable individuals to have a brighter tomorrow. Our integrity for others resounds all over the world and even in our communities. 

Growing up around strong female role models gave me the blueprint for what it means to be a servant leader. My love of STEM and passion for science solidified in high school and led me to Indiana University where I received a degree in Biology with a Business Life Sciences certificate. 

Lilly is known for its impact through its life-changing medicines and in its commitment to community. I started my career at Lilly as a Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, where I partnered with healthcare professionals to offer tailored solutions to improve diabetes care in these practices, I saw firsthand the burden type 2 diabetes can be on people and their families and how our work in innovative diabetes research and treatment was the difference-maker in their lives. 

In my current position, I’m part of a team that understands people’s tensions and provides viable solutions to enable them to feel empowered about their diagnoses to improve their health. The passion behind my work stems from seeing many of my family and friends live with diabetes. I know that my work directly effects not only my family but numerous families around the world. 

I’m also the reigning Miss Indiana USA 2021. I use this platform to advocate for women’s involvement in STEM fields and empower women to be DISRUPTIVE leaders in their networks through my initiative #DaretoDisrupt. All my life, I have been challenging the status quo, inserting myself in spaces that lack diversity and representation and refusing to become complacent. That is my challenge to all women because the world needs you. It needs your presence.”
