DIRECTOR OF NEW BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT/STUDIO DIRECTOR
Summary

I have 10+ years' demonstrated success in driving creative growth and sales process. I feel blessed to have had the opportunity to help Tela Beauty Organics by Philip Pelusi build from a concept to an organized, innovative, world class brand. I still pinch myself to think of myself as someone pivotal in transforming a business into a sustainable, competitive, and innovative enterprise through profound creativity. It will always take my breath away. Because when I started, it was not like it is today. Plus, I did not do it alone. I was given a chance. I needed to listen deeply and take precious care the whole way. It really does take a village to grow something into existence that did not exist before. It will always remind me of good old fashioned hard work, good faith in yourself and the greatness of others, dedication, and an enduring commitment and love of the game that will never go away.
