Bio

🌲 Born and raised in Portland, Oregon.

🌄 Currently living in Bend, Oregon

🥁 I've always been immersed in music as far I can remember. I wanted to pursue my own dreams of becoming a drummer.

❌ It turns out it's harder to coordinate multiple people for "jam sessions". That's when I came across the wonderful world of electronic music.

🤔 "Hey, I can do all of this without needing anybody else!" I fell in love with the art form. I was determined to become a professional DJ. Grinding hours away on the computer, playing shows in dirty warehouses for pennies on the dollar. All in hopes I can make it to the next stage. After a few years of realizing I have better opportunities with school, I decided to pursue my love for all things digital and go to college.

🤓 Fast forward four years later I received my Bachelor's degree in Business from Oregon State University

🤷‍♂️ Couldn't find a job. I Felt Stuck in the restaurant industry like everyone else.

🎉 Until

📹 I saw a LinkedIn video posted by my previous CEO.

💁🏼 "I need someone to help me build my personal brand, you won't get paid much but you will get experience within the digital marketing space."

💡 Perfect! I finally found my way in.

🤝 Taking on the role of the Personal Brand Project Manager I quickly had a lot of responsibilities. From taking the podcast off the ground (Cameras, lights, sound, post-editing, podcast room decor, etc.) to writing blogs, building a website, curating posts you name it. I was doing it. helping take that weight off his shoulders so he can continue growing his company.

👀 I noticed how successful our successful campaigns and wanted more people to know about them. He replied, "well you should get into sales." Being side by side for so long I understood the inner workings of the company and could easily relay that to the potential client.

📈 I exponentially grew into the Senior Area Manager bringing in over a million dollars worth of revenue to the company.

✅ Currently, I am now a Regional Sales Rep at G5 helping specifically the multi-family home keep their properties full with their ideal tenant, at their ideal cost, and with the ideal relationship.
