Landscape Architecture and Outdoor Lighting industry advocate for 25+ years! Sales & Design Support, Marketing, Team Building, Customer Consultation & Relationship Management, Market Analytics, CEU Education and Product Application Training.After graduating University of Arkansas in 1997 with a Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, I started working as a landscape designer for a civil engineering firm in NW Arkansas; then moved to Tempe, AZ in 1999 for grad school (ASU); during this time and for the next 7 years, continued working as a landscape designer and project manager with a few different firms around the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. In 2007, I ventured into the world of manufacturing. For the next 14 years, I worked as a Regional Sales Manager for three different lighting manufacturers, covering 20+ states from the southwest US to the Midwest and part of the East Coast. In 2021, as COVID grounded most travel plans, I made a career move to the landscape wholesale distribution industry and became the Area Sales Manager for SiteOne Landscape supply, where I helped support a team of 15 sales account managers. In April 2024, I have the opportunity to rejoin the lighting industry and help continue to grow awareness in the art of Landscape Lighting Design!
