In my current role at WESST, I have had the opportunity to take on a leadership role within the organization as the Regional manager of the Santa Fe office. I am responsible for overseeing a team of employees and ensuring that we are serving entrepreneurs in our 11-county region through 1:1 consulting, trainings, and assisting clients with access to capital.Additionally, I have been heavily involved in community outreach efforts on behalf of Wesst. I have helped to organize and participate in events that promote our services and connect us with members of the community. This has allowed me to build strong relationships with local businesses and community leaders, further enhancing WESST's reputation and reach.Another aspect of my role at WESST has been providing training and support. I have developed and delivered training sessions that have helped to improve the skills and knowledge of our clients, ultimately leading to better outcomes for their businesses. This builds on my past work as a Copywriter/editor, health educator in the U.S. Peace Corps (Lesotho), as an ESL English teacher in Vietnam, and as an acupuncturist/herbalist.I am a collaborative team player with strong communication and project management skills. I love the challenge of taking on new projects and exceeding expectations.In my free time, I enjoy travel and getting to know the sites and communities of New Mexico, especially through cultural events, camping/hiking and bird photography. I also practice Tai Chi and just took my first class in printmaking while visiting Oaxaca. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn and grow both personally and professionally.
