ABOUT ME
Creative, Passionate, and Socially Minded
At my core, I’ve always had an entrepreneurial spirit. People say that often, but for me it’s more than a phrase - it’s how I move through the world.
Entrepreneurship isn’t something you simply learn in school; it’s something you live. It’s waking up at 3:00 a.m. with ideas you can’t ignore. It’s resourcefulness, curiosity, adaptability, and the determination to keep moving forward no matter the challenge. It’s accountability, grit, and the refusal to quit until you find a solution.
I believe anyone can work for a company, but not everyone is wired to build, create, and innovate. I’ve done both - worked for myself and within organizations - and in every role I’ve brought my full energy, creativity, and commitment to the table.
What I love most is marketing: the art of building a brand, creating meaningful connections, and helping people understand the value of something that truly matters. I thrive on collaboration and draw energy from working alongside passionate people toward ambitious goals.
Born and raised in Los Angeles, I later traveled extensively throughout Asia - experiences that deepened my curiosity about people, culture, and human connection. Today, I live in rural Reno, Nevada, with my husband and granddaughter on a lively farm filled with dogs, cats, goats, and rescue horses. It’s a life grounded in purpose, compassion, and a little bit of joyful chaos. When I need to recharge, you’ll usually find me outside with the animals.
Professionally, my journey has spanned industries as varied as national defense, pharmaceutical drug development, nonprofit leadership, and business development. Through every chapter, I’ve held tightly to one belief: when faced with the choice between what’s easy and what’s right, you choose what’s right - especially when it’s difficult. That same belief guided my role as a foster parent and my desire to make a meaningful difference wherever I can.
The person I am today is the sum of all these experiences and I’m still learning, still growing, and still evolving every single day.
