Meet the Team: Nick Newton

After moving to San Francisco for a master’s degree program in human sexuality studies, Newton gained experience through a health tech non-profit. Afterward, he found a full-time role as a sales development representative at ClinCapture . 

“Sometimes I second-guessed myself”, said Newton as he looked back at when he first started working. “But I was persistent.”

And his hard work paid off, ClinCapture ’s current Director of Sales Amanda McLean played a vital role in his success. 

“She saw something in me and gave me a much-needed pep talk when I was being promoted to account manager,” he said. 

A humble Newton was recently recognized as a top-performing team member on the team at ClinCapture during the third quarter of 2020. 

“Sales is vibrant and it is a mix of ‘work hard, play hard,’” he said. 

“The smoke machine could be going off in the San Francisco office while someone is on the phone closing a deal,” he added with a laugh. “We celebrated one another.”

Newton said it was a dream of his to work for a company that supports him, both personally and professionally. 

About eight years ago, Newton began performing as Avery Daniels, his drag persona. 

“I love to entertain. I love the hair and the makeup,” Newton said. “It shows other people that you can be yourself.”

Newton said his biggest supporter, his mom, once drove six hours to see him perform. “She is very accepting and I grew up in a loving household.”

Newton said his colleagues at ClinCapture have attended his shows as well. 

“It has really helped me become a better human being,” Newton said.
