I love helping people to improve their overall well-being and creating authentic meaningful relationships with the people I serve.I have enjoyed crafting and sharing delicious gut-healing functional fruit/herb/botanical/ACV infusions with many happy customers/brands/companies through my career. My personal and professional experiences have taught me the following about myself:1. I'm a health-nut junkie. I love EVERYTHING about the wellness/healing/functional food & beverage world.2. I'm a self-taught, fearless entrepreneur with a passion in health, people, and happiness. 3. Founded Purely (functional beverage company) on the foundation of happiness - "we believe that happier guts make for a happier world." Awarded the Good Foods Award and Official "Ark of Taste USA" Product Award. I wake up happy everyday to work on Purely's growth, partnerships, marketing and operations. 4. I got my way in Food/Bev in a non-traditional way. Studied Branding/Design in college and worked for Nike/Columbia Sportswear. Then I started a non-profit (tanQ) to support NPOs/charities through art & design. I've always enjoyed bringing people together to learn, discover, and support one from another. I started a beverage company and help others to improve gut-health. Sooner than I expected, we got 100+ accounts, Whole Foods and Safeway. Failed many times along the way but the lesson I learned: Don't give up, find your WHY and enjoy the journey!5.) This is my WHY & passion: power goodness in health and the world with joy, love and connectivity.I hope to make a difference in this world by creating work that is positive, life changing and inspirational for the people, for you.
