The person behind the work.

My connection to the lumber industry goes back three generations. My great-grandfather and grandfather both worked for the Forest Service, and my grandfather went on to become a forestry professor at Oregon State University. He and my grandmother also ran a Christmas tree farm — I spent much of my childhood walking that land with him, watching trees get processed, and developing a genuine appreciation for the wood products industry long before I entered it professionally.

That background led me to Gold Beach Lumber, where I've spent the past 2.5 years as Marketing Coordinator for a 10-location hardware and building materials retailer. I oversee campaign planning and execution across digital and traditional channels, manage the annual marketing budget, and coordinate promotions across all store locations.

Alongside that, I run MealPrepRituals — a content brand born from a separate passion for fitness and nutrition. In six months I grew it from zero to 163K+ followers and 20M+ organic views, monetized through affiliate partnerships, brand deals, and cookbook sales. Together, these two paths reflect who I am: someone with a generational connection to an industry I believe in, and an entrepreneurial drive to build audiences from scratch.
