As Vice President of Operations and Partner at Collaboration Business Consulting, I lead operational strategy and execution to drive efficiency and results. With over 10 years of experience as a Project Manager, I have a deep understanding of the consulting landscape and a proven track record of leading teams, managing client relationships, and ensuring smooth project delivery.In my current role, I oversee daily operations, optimize processes, and support the firm's strategic growth, ensuring that we continue to deliver high-impact solutions for our clients. My focus is on aligning operations with our long-term vision, fostering collaboration, and empowering teams to achieve excellence.As a new Partner, I am excited to contribute to the firm’s leadership while continuing to build strong relationships and deliver value to our clients.

Providing administrative upkeep to Collaboration Business Consulting, I prioritize tasks to ensure the office is operating smoothly. I’m responsible for customer service, operations, and consulting support. In addition, I use my ability to think outside-of-the-box to generate marketing ideas. Together, our team carefully considers challenges-whether it be in management, finance, marketing, or operations-to generate solutions that result in overall growth. One of the tools we use to facilitate this growth is a communication and compatibility tool called WorkTraits. Part of my job is to help employers and employees gain a better understanding of each other through the use of WorkTraits. I love interacting directly with our clients, in person and on the phone; coordinating company meetings, events and trainings. Using my interpersonal communication skills, in combination with a client centered perspective-I’m able to anticipate clients and co-workers needs.I recognize and fill these needs by: taking care of details to bring closure to projects, utilizing the latest technology to improve our efforts, making clients feel welcome and informed, managing incoming calls, keeping the office stocked, organizing the training room and meeting rooms, tracking room schedules, maintaining consistent branding in computer files, updating client information, assisting with internal recruiting, creating proposals, and participating in employee interviews.

My position with California Coastal Real Estate has several layers of office and real estate responsibilities, requiring a keen eye for details, and tracking processes. I schedule appointments and showings, attend to property needs outside of the office, and obtain signatures from the appropriate parties. I also contact third parties (such as title companies, appraisers, etc) to keep the transaction moving along. Maintaining brand consistency and quality control, I oversee marketing and advertising listings (including flyers, e-blasts, brochures, online marketing efforts, etc). Preparing creative design advertisements, taking pictures of properties, and offering support to the CCRE leaders are a few of my daily tasks. I have a strong desire to do things thoroughly and accurately, making me a good candidate for: maintaining the operations manual that documents systems and standards; assisting with the website, social media and other database updates; and providing software support.

During this time, I held numerous temporary (week long) positions through United Staffing Associates San Luis Obispo, working as a bookkeeper, front desk associate, and office administrator for different local companies. It was a unique experience that kept me on my toes, perfecting various office tasks and learning unfamiliar roles in a short period of time.Working with local businesses, I maintained social media, planned and designed events with clients, and answered phones and emails daily. I was continuously cultivating relationships with clients to assist with anything that they needed, offering temporary, as well as ongoing support.

My time with the Schultz/Visveskwava family allowed me to combine my love for planning, organizing, and nurturing positive growth to impact the lives of children. I was responsible for providing supplemental learning, teaching life skills, and upholding a creative structure that promoted the overall wellbeing of the children. Researching, planning, and implementing new learning activities, I effectively managed an activities budget that benefited all of the parties involved (nanny, parents, and kids). I provided consultative support at doctors’ visits, upheld dietary restrictions, and monitored medical needs. Working one-on-one with the parents to establish an inclusive wellness approach, I always offered creative suggestions, all while maintaining the family’s standard for a presentable environment.

I held several positions at the Pacific Athletic Club, including Childcare Lead, Summer Camp Assistant Director, and Summer Camp Counselor Lead. As part of a carefully selected group of individuals in the leadership circle, I shared my ideas and contributed to the direction of the company. Being privy to the ins and outs of the entire organization, I developed numerous programs and advertising campaigns that had a lasting effect on the future of PAC. Specifically, I created, implemented, and advertised new developmental programs for youth ages 6 weeks to 14 years in both year round, and summer camp programs. I also assisted in creating a new revenue stream for the company by establishing and marketing a new offering-themed parties and social events. This resulted in a direct revenue increase of 15%, and improved synergy for all program offerings. Working with children who have a variety of needs, supervising and training 30 staff members, and improving customer satisfaction through nurtured relationships were just a few of the ways I contributed to increased brand loyalty. The direct results from my efforts have been 20% growth for year-round enrollment (year-over-year), and 10% summer camp growth.

Responsible for creating future camp leaders, implementing effective communication techniques, and improving the evaluation process, I excelled as the Counselor-In-Training Director. Improving systems and individuals through targeted teaching and innovative communication concepts made this position both fun and rewarding. I generated workshops and training programs for six sessions of 30 girls each, resulting in 90% staff retention and seamless seasonal transitions. Using my knowledge and experience in the developmental stages of physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth of children and teens, I improved evaluation methods to help us better gage individual growth and give future recommendations.
