From croissants
to luxury.
All aboard — the leap always looks steeper from the dock
I grew up in Encinitas, a small beach town in San Diego, with two parents who were executives running businesses. Work ethic wasn't a lesson in our house. It was the air we breathed.
At 8, I sold 100 croissants in a single day outside my parents' bakery. I was hooked.
From there, I sold HelloFresh on Wall Street in New York City in the snow, worked full-time to put myself through college, and built my career in marketing agencies. Then came my big leap: Growth Marketing Manager at Blade Air Mobility, where I helped generate $1M+ in revenue for their luxury helicopter Airport Pass.
And then, a few roles later, I lost my job.
Instead of waiting, I asked everyone I knew one question: "How can I add value?" I offered to work for free. Then I saw an opportunity, and one week later, I'd launched my own matchmaking service.
That moment taught me the truth behind everything I do: people value hard work, and when you deliver real results, opportunity follows.
Today, I work in partnerships, connecting people, brands and opportunities, and sharing what I learn so others can grow too.
