What I'm looking for

I'm ready to bring my organized, people-first approach to driving new [solidcore] studios from lease execution to Grand Opening.

At First Impressions Staging & Design, I lead physical-space projects from the first walkthrough through de-staging, applying consistent brand standards and keeping concurrent jobs on schedule. I coordinate vendors, schedules, and logistics while building trust with homeowners and real estate agents.

At STANLEY 1913 | PMI, I served as a liaison across engineering, design, packaging, and marketing. I supported prioritization and go-to-market planning, and took part in sprint planning, backlog grooming, and daily stand-ups.

I launched and ran day-to-day operations at STG Staging + Design, building scheduling systems and coordinating vendors and client communications. I tracked expenses in QuickBooks and Excel and reorganized warehouse operations with new storage processes.

At Gene Juarez Salons and Spa, I developed students and artists, owned new-hire onboarding and training, and managed a team of 18. I also taught, coached, and mentored students and stylists, with recognition for client retention and retail sales.
