I am a strategic and tenacious entrepreneurial executive with over a decade of experience in business operations, having founded and managed a dynamic regenerative agricultural business with annual gross sales of nearly $1 million. My expertise lies in business start-ups and development, sales and marketing, website development, SEO, accounting, and community relations. I have crafted and optimized websites and eCommerce platforms, developed brand narratives and social media strategies, and achieved excellent consumer reviews, brand identity, and community engagement. As an Outside Consultant at Outliers Recruiting, I elevate working professionals to new opportunities through resume development, career coaching, personal branding, and LinkedIn profile optimization. I am also highly dedicated to supporting the Lompoc Valley community and the County of Santa Barbara and earned a seat at the table for three Non-Profit Boards of Directors. My work as Board Chair for the start-up Santa Barbara County Food Action Network is deeply rooted in strategic planning and networking. As Vice Chair of the Route 1 Mobile Market, I assisted with the launch of a revolutionary Mobile Farmer's Market. This year I will also complete training at the Board Leadership Institute, at the Center for Non-Profit Board Leadership, by Cal Lutheran University. My expertise in communications and marketing began with my educational background in Business Communication from California Polytechnic State University-San Luis Obispo. These skills have been honed through years of branding, advertising, networking, outreach, professional development, and continuous learning. I am uniquely suited to lead and lift up the organizations and individuals around me with my tenacity, strategic thinking, and grounded optimism.
