Tell us about your background in marketing.
I have been in some form of sales my entire life. From Girl Scout cookies and candy bars for Softball, I have sold it all. I even gathered pollywogs as a child and sold those to my friends, two for a quarter. When I relocated to Reno from Los Angeles, my first real job in town was with a local printing company specializing in flexible packaging for the food and snack industries. After two years of inside sales I moved over to the design/pre-press department. It was there that I was taught design under the guidance of a brilliant teacher.

What led to you Reno/Tahoe?
I relocated to Reno in 1995 from Los Angeles with my husband and daughter after the Northridge earthquake. We were forced out of our home while it underwent renovations. We moved into an apartment and within a month, they had stolen my husband’s car. Displaced from our home, one less car and feeling like I needed my mommy, we took our FEMA money and high tailed it north to Truckee, where we stayed with my parents long enough to find jobs here in the Reno/Sparks area. It was the smartest move of our lives and we have never looked back.
