I was a profeesional snowboarder for many years before returning to college at the university of colorado at Boulder. I began a restaurant during college which was sold in 2011. Post college I became a cultivation manager for one of the largest medical marijuana dispensaries in the United States.

After 1 year as Administrative assistant I was promoted to Executive Assistant for the entire creative department. I wore many hats as the Executive Assistant including budget manager, travel manager, account/project/product manager, and a multitude of administrative duties.
