My daughter Sophie and I rappelling to raise money for Girls Inc.
a 20+ year veteran of growth-oriented CPG companies
A native Portlander. A 7th generation Oregonian. A business founder, mentor, coach, and executive. Mom to 3 kids and 2 dogs. Throughout my entire career, I have learned by doing. I’ve come to realize that collaboration with all types of people makes a ‘dream team’ – the key ingredient in building a multi-million dollar company from the ground up. I am creative, well organized, experienced, honest, determined and willful. I love Thai curries, mint chip ice cream, travel, outings and adventures with my kids, dogs and good coffee. And I love helping people realize their dreams. I’m appreciative of everything I’ve been able to see and do, but understand that there’s still much to do. Let’s get to work.
Three things I’ve checked off my bucket list:
1. Started a business in my basement
2. Lived and Worked Abroad
3. Scaled my basement start-up into a national brand
Three things still on my bucket list:
1. Tandem Skydiving
2. Scale another business - LETS DO IT AGAIN!
3. Go to the Carnival in Brazil
