Online Product Manager

With my extensive experience in social media management and event organization, I have maintained
a strong presence across various platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest. I have a proven
track record of organizing and setting up successful events, responding to emails and contacting potential
sponsors and collaborators. For the past seven years, I have been creating compelling content using
CANVA, which has helped me to reach out to sponsors through Instagram's direct messaging feature before and during event planning.
I have built and maintained meaningful relationships with sponsors, the city, and like-minded hiking
groups, which has enabled me to partner with the City of LA, Graffiti Removals, and City Council Member.
My successful partnership with Graffiti Removals led to the removal of graffiti at Stoney Point Park, CA. I
have created multiple crews for different outdoor projects, networking, and partnerships with REI, KEEN,
LEAVE NO TRACE, MADROCK, KEEP NATURE WILD, and TOUCHSTONE. I have hosted and created over
5,000 community events, created a LA Chapter over the course of four years, and created a team for different groups of the organization. I manage copywriting and create a culture within the organization
that fosters growth.
In May 2023, all five board members received a title from the LA COUNTY and Council Member for their
dedication and volunteer work for Trailmothers. I am currently preparing for 2024 with six stewardship
events with Leave No Trace Traveling Team to conduct education, trash clean up and how to use your
gear. I set up the monthly calendar, fresh content, and organize giveaways. In December 2023, I was
honored to receive The Steward of the Year award through Leave No Trace.
My experience in social media management, event organization, and community building has proven to be highly effective. I am confident that my skills and dedication to my work will be a valuable asset
to any organization.

Founder and CEO

positive impact in our community. For seven years, we have focused on Stoney Point Park in Chatsworth,
offering stewardship opportunities like graffiti removal and trash clean-ups. Our hard work has paid off, and we are proud of the difference we have made.
Besides Trailmothers, I am an adventurer at heart, passionate about rock climbing and spending time with my family, friends, and community. I am also a green witch, using wax melts, crystals, and candles

rewarding, and I thank the universe for guiding me on this path.

The Wheat Stalk Slow Feeder for Dogs and Cats is a game-changer when it comes to pet feeding. Its
super fun colors attract pets' eyes to their food, making mealtime a fun and interactive experience. My
German Shepherd Dog Mila, who is one year old, loves to wait to eat healthily, and I was worried she
would overeat with the traditional dog bowl. That's when I discovered the Wheat Stalk Slow Feeder.
Not only is it a fun way to eat, but it also provides plenty of mental stimulation, especially for active dogs like Mila. The feeder is made from sustainable and soft wheat stalks, making it easy on the environment


and easy to clean. It's detachable, which is everything to me, and I've fallen in love with the spinning
bone and the sniffing mats for her dry food days and treats.
The feeder is also colorful and cute, making it an excellent addition to any home. It can stick to any hard
surface floor, making it easy to use, and it's dishwasher safe, making it easy to clean. I'm thrilled with the Wheat Stalk Slow Feeder, and so is Mila. It's a great way to ensure that she eats healthily, has fun, and stays mentally stimulated.
