About me
Known to be the jack of all trades; I have made myself adaptable to different industries such as Fashion, Craft Beer, Bridal, E-commerce, Star-Ups and the Mortgage Industry (post-bubble). Having been exposed to a diverse group of markets, I have witnessed the growing pains but I’ve also celebrated the successes. Building a strong foundation with my team is an important factor for me. My mantra is to always encourage and motivate others with the intent to dissolve what some might reference as being “stuck in a box.”
