I’ve always believed that investing in people is what makes life and work meaningful. During my 30-year history in Santa Barbara, I’ve enjoyed getting to learn from, influence, coach, and mentor staff, managers, leaders, and executives. From General Manager to Chief of Staff to Executive Vice President to CEO to Business Owner, I’ve carried the mantle of leadership in several different settings. I’ve managed operations, staff teams, ownership dynamics, financial review, business reporting, staff retreats, strategic planning, staff development & training, client relationships, and human resources. It’s an honor to serve as CEO Ryan Newell’s right hand as CITIG’s Fractional Chief of Staff. And to recharge, you can find me on the trail, cuddling with my cat, spoiling my nieces and nephews, or reading a good book.
