What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to combine my skills from creating and running a successful massage therapy business, with opportunities for growth and collaboration in a supportive environment.

As the owner of Maintain Yourself PDX, I have successfully built a thriving massage therapy business from the ground up, growing my client base to over 800 in just four years. My role encompasses not only providing compassionate, individualized massage therapy but also managing a team of five employees and overseeing all aspects of the business, including marketing and client relations.

With a background in graphic design, I bring a unique blend of creativity and business acumen to my work. My experience includes designing websites, ad campaigns, and promotional materials that effectively communicate my brand's message. I am dedicated to fostering a trustworthy and welcoming environment for my clients, ensuring they receive the highest quality of care.

Prior to my current role, I honed my skills in graphic design at Lithia Motors, where I created engaging artwork for various platforms and maintained web content. My diverse experience across multiple industries has equipped me with excellent sales skills, project management capabilities, and a personable approach to client interactions.
