Summary

I’ve lived in the North County San Diego area for a total of 9 years with a 3-year break in Oregon. I’m originally from Utah but have really fallen in love with coastal life. I’ve had a variety of jobs over the years, but the most fulfilling one has been being a mom of two kids. I have learned so much through that experience and have developed so many skills I never thought I would before becoming a parent. Over the past decade my partner and I have also run multiple small businesses. I am a great listener and love the process of learning something new. I am really passionate about customer service, and I believe that great customer service is creating an experience for the consumer that uplifts them and where they feel like their needs are being met fully, as well as being anticipated, and they want to return multiple times for the experience they received.
