Based out of the San Francisco Bay Area, Portrait by the Bay capitalizes on the Bay Area's amazing weather by creating beautiful outdoor photography. We believe that outdoor photography provides a dynamic feel to each photograph taken and uses the available light to create an effect that artificial light cannot achieve. Outdoor photography feels more natural, which makes it comfortable to work in both for the photographer and our clients. Studio shots feel too artificial and we believe outdoor photoshoots bring out the best in people overall. Come join us on our next photography session and you'll see the benefits of using natural light and enjoy the outdoors at the same time.

As Fat Cat Motorsports’ supply chain manager, I overlooked the inventory of all retail parts, shop tools and equipment. In addition, I was responsible for the shipping and handling of all incoming and outgoing materials while also being the main point of contact for vendors and individual customers who ordered through the FCM website. A brief summary of my marketing efforts at FCM: Within the first six months of my time here at FCM, I pioneered the creation of the company’s social marketing presence through multiple channels (Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram). I helped maintain the aforementioned social mediums while also assisting the company CEO in updating and maintaining the FCM website. I also created FCM’s monthly e-newsletters that contain company news and products. I was responsible for coordinating offline community engagement through technical lectures, local track days and special event attendance such as Teslive. I assisted in integrating suspension theory with car control tips to provide automotive enthusiasts on various forums with proper safety advice while on the track or on public roads.I assisted in developing the FCM Elite division within the Fat Cat company and refining FCM's current website with product photography and providing a visual guide, which allowed our customers to see the process each of our clients went through when their automotive platform is provided to us for further testing and development of suspension systems.

I started my employment at LeMans Karting as a Front Office staff member in July of 2012. My main functions included customer check-in, safety briefings, office upkeep and other duties as needed. While I was a part of the Front Office staff, I established a “How to Upsell” guide for all Front Office and Safety Marshal staff in order to maximize revenues per customer. Not only did this help the company’s revenues for the remainder of the 2012 year, but it also helped showcase my leadership potential and ability to sell race packages to customers walking into our facility, whether it was one customer or a group of 12. In February of 2013, I was promoted to Shift Supervisor, which allowed me to further display my leadership ability and gave me the flexibility of overlooking the performance of both the Front Office staff and the Safety Marshals out on the track. As a Shift Supervisor, I helped increase the number of returning customers by 35% by empowering the Front Office staff to upsell effectively.In June of 2013, I was promoted to Marketing Associate, a position in which I truly helped LeMans Karting in more ways than just increasing shift revenues. Within the first month, I helped implement a “Summer Special” promotion, which increased weekly revenue by 30%. My duties also included sending bi-weekly e-newsletters, updating the company blog with engaging posts about karting, motorsports, or even technical advice known as “Speed Secrets” in which our audience learned how to race on our track configurations. I overlooked the photography, the design of company brochures, flyers, coupons and other marketing collateral, all of which increased the awareness of LMK and provided the necessary exposure to drive additional traffic into its doors.I also assisted LMK’s marketing efforts through Google Adwords and Google Analytics and created efficient SEO and SEM campaigns that increased site visits and decreased CPC through all supplied keywords under each ad campaign.
