Professional Experience
An Overview of My Career
I have been working my way up in the family business for 9 years. I started out in the shipping department booking trucks and relaying information from customers to drivers and drivers to customers. Now I manage the whole business. While working for Jansen USA has helped me grow as a business woman, I have also devoted time to other projects that have allowed me to grow important skills I will carry with me into my next career endeavor. This includes Surfpurse, a product I invented, manufactured, and patented, and The Private Eye Library, a mystery literature podcast I have with my sister.
SURFPURSE
Surfpurse is an ongoing project I have been working on with a close friend, since 2020.
We are just two gals who have a love and passion for the ocean, surfing, and innovation. "Sore arms and achy backs from our round-trip treks were taking a toll, So we both thought, why hasn’t someone invented something that helps surfers carry their logs and paddleboards? Why couldn’t that be us?!
More recently we have been working on an updated design with more flexibility so that it can be used for thicker paddle boards and kayaks.
Private Eye Library
The bookclub podcast that investigates mystery novels and tries to solve them before your favorite detectives
Sydney, my long-distance sister, and I started reading mysteries together as a way to bond from a continent away. Then of course we decided that we should publish our silly conversations about the theories we come up with and what we learn along the way. Podcasting is something that combines all of our talents and hobbies perfectly.
Jansen USA
Jansen USA is the family business that I have been managing for the past 5 years. I have been working hard to increase brand awareness and quality of service. My job at Jansen USA encompasses many tasks. One of the projects I am most proud of right now is the new jansenusa.com.
I built this website from the ground up, working very hard to design it specifically for ease of use and with our customers in mind.
Freelance Art
Some of the work I am most proud of and interested in pursuing in the future.
