I took my first IMPACT basics class after the traumatic experience of being mugged in San Francisco. After only three days in the classroom, surrounded by passionate instructors and supportive classmates, I learned skills that transformed my ability to thrive in a metropolis and gained the empowerment needed to take safety into my own hands. I joined the IMPACT board three months later, and as a member at large, I support the organization through community engagement, strategic planning and marketing.

As the owner of Forget Me Not Photobooths I controlled the branding of the business from logos and promotional materials to marketing efforts in the Anchorage area. I developed a strong following within my first three months, hired one part-time employee, and was booked every weekend, lighting up customers’ events with props and photo strips. The crowning achievement was when one of my clients’ photos made the front page of Reddit! I sold the business when I decided to move back to San Francisco and pursue my MBA at Presidio Graduate School.

Repsol YPF is a Spanish-based oil and gas company with more than 40,000 employees worldwide.In late 2011, Repsol began exploring for oil and gas in the remote regions of the Alaska North Slope. I was hired to open its Anchorage office, which served as the communication center of its remote operations. I wore many different hats: HR, operations, community relations and general office management. I coordinated employee and contractor travel from our Anchorage office to the North Slope, oversaw inventory of our emergency Arctic gear as well as billeting at our remote work locations.My favorite aspect of the job was engaging in community outreach, as I traveled with our Vice President of Public Affairs to the villages located next to our drilling sites. We listened to the feedback the local residents shared at community meetings as well as completing media training.
