20 Years of Experience,
A Lifetime of Curiosity.
Let’s get right to it: I love the process of creating something from nothing.
For 20 years, that meant working in Event Production, where I learned that a great spreadsheet is just as important as a great creative concept. I mastered the art of keeping cool under pressure and ensuring that the show always goes on.
A few years ago, I decided to pivot. I went back to school to earn my Business Degree to understand the "why" behind the "how."
I’m a hybrid professional—part logistical expert, part creative soul (ask me about my upcoming cookbook! 🍳), and future digital nomad. I’m currently building a portfolio that supports a fully remote career, aiming for a laptop lifestyle in Albania.
If you’re looking for someone who brings seasoned reliability mixed with fresh energy to your team or project, say hello! 👋
Education
2026
AA Business
College of the Redwoods
I completed my degree as a strategic step to formalize over two decades of practical, high-stakes management experience with foundational academic theory. I am proud to have graduated with a perfect 4.0 GPA, earning a spot on the Presidential Honor Roll for three semesters.
Rather than just learning concepts, a major highlight of my studies was immediately applying new skills in finance, marketing strategy, and operational workflows directly to my real-world creative ventures, such as my upcoming cookbook launch. Key milestones included mastering modern digital project management tools (including integrating AI for efficiency) and developing a comprehensive understanding of the "business side" of creative production. This education has bridged my proven ability to execute in the field with the strategic knowledge needed to lead remotely.
2025
Small Business Management
College of the Redwoods
While my degree provided the strategic overview, this certificate was all about the practical toolkit. I pursued this concentration to sharpen the specific, hands-on skills needed to launch and maintain independent ventures—vital for my transition to a remote, digital nomad lifestyle ✈️.
The coursework focused on the "nuts and bolts" of lean operations, actionable financial planning, and targeted marketing strategy. I didn't just study these concepts; I immediately put them to the test by building the launch framework and operational workflow for my upcoming self-published cookbook, "The Edible Standard." 🍳
2025
Accounting Certificate
College of the Redwoods
To ensure a rock-solid foundation in financial stewardship, I rounded out my business studies with a specialized Accounting Certificate. This coursework moved beyond theory into the practical mechanics of budgeting, forecasting, and detailed financial reporting.
Whether managing complex project logistics or running an independent venture, this financial literacy is crucial. It ensures I bring not just creative vision to a project, but also the fiscal discipline needed to keep it solvent, profitable, and on budget.
