About My Journey.
My career path has been something like: fixing sprinklers -> group fitness coaching -> managing a gym -> managing a commercial landscaping company (where I am currently employed). Most of my work in each industry was spent putting complex issues/concepts into easily understood terms, especially when there was a language barrier. I'm excited to apply my communication skills in the field of counseling to not only help others understand themselves, but also for my own desire to practice authenticity.

Director of Client Services
I currently serve as Director of Client Services of a commercial landscaping company whose sole clientele is multi-family residential. I spent significant amount of time interacting with executives, regional managers, and community managers. I also manage a team of 5 division supervisors within the company to keep daily operations flowing.
March 2020 - March 2023
Elite Wellness Fitness Center
CrossFit Trainer
Being a full-time CrossFit Trainer involved instructing 4-6 classes a day with 10-20 people in each class. I used my interpersonal skills to build rapport with clients and help them to feel that the gym was a safe space to learn and grow. Because the workouts varied daily, I learned to prepare lesson plans in advance. Planning gave me confidence to be fully present with the classes and quickly adapt to each client's needs.

As an Irrigation Technician, I performed sprinkler-system inspections and repairs in apartment complexes. In my time as a tech, I monitored new equipment and technology releases and trained new employees.
