I see every interaction as a chance to make a meaningful impact. My career started at 11 with a small landscaping business, where I discovered the power of truly understanding people's needs to create real change. Even something as simple as a manicured lawn can positively impact their day. This lesson has been my compass throughout a winding career path.Now, with a UBC Sauder education and a diverse skill set, I've gone from tending gardens to nurturing the growth of organizations. I'm driven by a passion for excellence and a genuine commitment to helping others succeed. Let's connect and explore how we can make an impact together.--As a Manager of Portfolio Strategy at GetFresh Ventures, I work directly with founders to drive enterprise value within our purpose-driven portfolio as they grow anywhere from Pre-Seed to Series-B: through revenue development, fundraising, IPOs, debt financing, or alternative funding routes. In addition to providing strategic expertise to our portfolio, I also work closely with our team to constantly improve/refine our offerings both to clients and investors to secure the highest possible investment returns for all parties.Outside of working with purpose-driven companies, I’ve supported non-profit organizations both as an advisor and as a volunteer. One organization I’m particularly passionate about is the Crisis Centre, for which I provided both advisory and led classroom speeches as a youth educator for 4 years. I found success in breaking down complex issues, like mental health, for youth who may be exposed to challenging situations.
