I am delighted to be teaching marketing courses in the San Marcos Entrepreneurship Academy this school year. I graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo with my bachelors degree in Education and my teaching credential in Social Sciences with a CTE business/marketing certification. Upon graduation I worked as a traveling Organization Development Consultant for a women's nonprofit organization. In that role, I specialized in working with collegiate leaders to develop their leadership, personal growth, and general organization operations, including the creation and maintenance of both a personal and professional brand. I had the opportunity to work at more than 50 university campuses around the country and found immense excitement for the impact that young people's ideas and passions make. Currently, I serve on a leadership council for that same nonprofit organization's National Recruitment Team, where I regularly work on nationwide recruitment and marketing strategies. This semester, I have absolutely loved teaching both Marketing and World History courses at San Marcos. I am honored to have the opportunity to combine my teaching and marketing passions together to inspire, motivate, educate, and empower our students.
