About Me
I'm originally from sunny Los Angeles, California and was raised in the majestic Rocky Mountains of Winter Park, Colorado. I started working in hospitality for 4 years as a housekeeper, lead laundry person, and head housekeeping inspector for Iron Horse Resort and Devil's Thumb Ranch & Resort. Traveling and networking is a big passion of mine and subsequently have attended college courses in retail management, marketing, and merchandising in San Francisco, Denver, and Las Vegas.
I created a bohemian style accessories line called Closet Ruckus that utilizes materials like leather, hemp, and semi-precious stones. My fashion accessories and other products satisfy these two problems: How can we attain spontaneity and excitement within a peaceful setting? How can we maintain balance around high levels of stress and anxiety? They are based around fun yet useful rituals that help promote better relaxation and focus. These rituals are inspired by the minimalist movement to live mindfully inside and outside the home as well as simplicity in personal life and professional life.
Currently working in the cannabis industry as a shift lead. This is going on my 4th year working as a budtender in the Denver market. I'm extremely passionate about marketing and have a vision to create new and innovative content strategies. With so many people being turned off to the idea off mass markets, it’s very important to give extra personalized attention where the little details will be appreciated by the intended audience.
Skillset includes but not limited to: Hand sketching, digital drawing, graphic design web design, photography, and video editing. Microsoft Word & Excel, Adobe Illustrator & Photoshop, Premier Pro, InDesign, etc.
