In my own words

Lauren

I’m about getting the job done in the most effective way possible.

I was a professional skateboarder for 10 + years, which laid the foundation for my work ethic. I no longer at a professional skateboard level, but I find that same drive and motivation in my work. I’m incredibly passionate about what I do and want to produce the best quality of the task at hand. I have over six years of Marketing experience in several different avenues, from automotive to the beverage industry, and at one point, I started a kombucha company. Hard work is something I seek for, my greatest fear is being complacent. Areas of expertise include brand communications management, producing video content, public speaking, athlete management, and creating engaging events. I am looking for a career that will allow me to utilize my previous work experience to elevate your brand to a new level.
