Summary
I have a passion for health and wellness, team leadership, and building community. With a proven track record of growing multi-million dollar businesses I strive to think outside of the box, be a quick problem solver, and lead with attention to detail. I've done this through building large teams from scratch, producing timelines, managing budgets, spearheading marketing/PR and developing training curriculum to improve profitability.
