Horticulture & Garden Designer
At Fresh Aire Enterprise I build and maintain beautiful outdoor spaces in residential settings. Planting and caring for pre-existing gardens is my top priority. I maintain garden appearance and general garden clean up during the changing seasons of spring, summer and autumn. Planting flower arrangements of annuals in garden beds and pots is another specialty of mine. In the winter, I create bough arrangements from fresh evergreen branches, aspen branches and other festive decorations. Other services of mine, but not limited to this, include: pruning, trimming and topiary of perennials, shrubs and tress, fertilization, weed control, lawn mowing and mulching
Culinary Expertise
I am an excellent chef and I am trying to broaden my horizon’s with a globalized feel for all international foods, so I am taking notes every time I travel. I could cook almost anything that I set my mind to. I love cooking simple food with fresh, local, in season and simple ingredients. I believe that food is the first avenue to optimal health. Some of my specialties include pasta made from scratch, homemade sauces and dressings, rich and hearty soups, and braised meats. Maybe I could be your next personal chef.
Attendee at the Mountain West Herb Conference, June 2016
Here I connected with other herbalists, medicine makers, environmental activists, scientists and learned from some of the best herbal practitioners living and working in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I was educated on our diverse, and delicate ecosystem, while at the same time gained knowledge on the local flora and fauna. I also received sustainable guidance and experience on wild-crafting herbs for my own personal use.
Medicine Maker
Through my education in Integrative Health Care, and my experience with two affluent apothecaries in Denver, CO, I have started to create my own line of natural, organic and medicinal herbal body care products. I grow some of my own herbs, wild-craft my herbs and source them from sustainable and organic farmers. I also use the healing properties of essential oils to scent my products. Some of the products I have become very successful with include:

Speaker at The University of Denver’s Internationalization Summit, April 2016
Spoke along side with fellow classmate Erik Montoya, Professor Carol Jensen, and Dr. Emily Matuszewicz.
Our presentation provided an opportunity to offer the value of co-creating study abroad experiences with students and faculty that promotes meaningful relationships both within the peer group and with the relevant global communities. Together we discussed the development of innovative curriculum, working with a diverse student population, and pioneering a relationship with a clinic in a challenging setting. All which prepared students to enter a difficult environment with adequate knowledge and an attitude of receptivity.

Curriculum Building for MSU Denver’s Senior Level Capstone Class
In my Academic Portfolio, I discuss my Capstone Internship. Through the creation of a digital story using iMovie software, which displayed my study abroad experience in India, along with the development and the presentation of my own capstone presentation at the Impact & Innovation Showcase, I built class curriculum for future students. This will help future professors teach students how to begin the digital story process so it could be used inside, in conjunction with or instead of a capstone presentation. This has taught me curriculum building skills which, can be incorporated into teaching aspects of my future career.
