After completing her first internship in France, and acquiring her B.A. degree in Foreign Languages (French) and International Trade, she joined a one-year fellowship program with the Governors Office of the State of Illinois. Following her internships, she achieved further overseas experience as an International Marketing Representative for the IL Department of Agriculture assisting Illinois food manufacturing companies with their exporting efforts through various global trade shows.
To compliment her international experiences, she acquired extensive sales training in the advertising industry, and then progressed to a successful 10 year medical sales career in biotech and pharmaceuticals. Ms. Kane began her medical sales career working for a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company, and then progressed to specialized therapeutic selling for several biotech companies where her relationship-building skill set consistently placed her in the top 10 percent of her sales colleagues. To expand her experience in the medical equipment side of the industry, she was intrigued by the opportunity to work for a radiation oncology company. There she was able to use her international skills once again, traveling to national trade shows and connecting with current and potential customers. It was there she met her co-founder, Mr. John Zimmer.
