I am passionate about natural products, ingredients, health & beauty, wellness, alternative health practices, and supplements. I add value to companies through strategic sourcing, risk assessment, and supplier relationship management. I add to the bottom line through sustainable purchasing practices, and responsible supply chain management. 15 years ago, when I began working in the natural products industry, I realized what you put on your body can be as important as what you put in your body. I believe understanding natural beauty and skin care can add value to our lives. I like to work on teams that are transparent about their products, ingredients, and sourcing practices. I believe consumers are smart and we can help demystify naturalness, organics, and sustainability. I believe a natural lifestyle should be accessible to everyone. In my career so far, I have enjoyed creating long-term relationships with suppliers and sources for natural raw ingredients and packaging. I have traveled globally to secure materials and meet high standards in sustainability and social responsibility. I obsess over researching ingredients and reading INCI decks both for myself, my family, and my company. I want to be part of the shift toward a more intentional world.
