Passionate horticulturist and artist dedicated to community impact.
What I'm looking for
With a strong foundation in art history and medieval studies, I have cultivated a diverse career that merges my passions for horticulture, art, and community service. My recent role as a Horticultural Technician at Hoffman Design Group allowed me to apply my horticultural knowledge to create and maintain vibrant green spaces for commercial clients in the Greater Philadelphia area. This experience has deepened my understanding of plant life and its significance in enhancing community aesthetics.
As the Founder and Owner of Beridan Naturals, I successfully developed a plant-based skincare line that resonated with consumers seeking natural solutions. My entrepreneurial journey involved managing all aspects of product development and business operations, leading to impressive sales figures and collaborations with notable brands like Urban Outfitters and Birchbox. My commitment to preserving the natural world is reflected in my work, and I strive to inspire others to live harmoniously with nature.
In addition to my horticultural endeavors, I have a background in digital project management and quality assurance, where I honed my analytical and problem-solving skills. I am eager to leverage my diverse experiences and passion for the natural world to make a meaningful impact in my next role.
