My undergraduate and master’s degrees were both in environmental studies at USC. I focused on environmental and land-use planning, working in the field for about eight years after graduation, primarily preparing CEQA and NEPA environmental documentation.

I started Shoe Inn over 10 years ago as the Global Product Manager. My responsibilities include marketing, going to trade shows, looking at new products, and just about everything else associated with running the business. I even enjoy helping to unload shipping containers and getting a workout at the same time!
