I operated Core Decoded Consulting LLC full-time for 4-years in Del Rio, Texas. I balanced 2 to 3 client projects as an independent consultant for small businesses and government agencies within the sports, entertainment, and wellness sectors.

My business growth was 100% referral based and reached the point where I needed to scale by hiring support staff or outsourcing work. I decided I didn’t want to build that team on my own and would rather join an existing team back closer to home. So, I stopped accepting new clients and started working on my professional portfolio.

I was an active member of IIDA for 8 years and started my career in A+D at Hendrick with a 4-year tenure. Hendrick had a small team of 30 staff, and I had hit my growth capacity there. Admittedly, my life after Hendrick was not smooth sailing. I launched Core Decoded Consulting and started on my entrepreneurial journey. But I was quickly recruited by JRA for a sales position as “Community Engagement Manager.” I seized the opportunity but left JRA after less than one year because of safety concerns (and we will leave it at that). I was so relieved when I found IMA Corporate Interiors. I loved working with IMA and was assigned the enterprise client accounts like CBRE and JLL.

Unfortunately, the pandemic hit right away. I survived 4 rounds of furloughs at IMA but saw the writing on the walls. Thankfully, Corporate Environments recruited me at the same time that IMA needed to let me go. Corporate Environments first hired me on a 90 day contract, then extended it to a full year. When that contract ended, I looked back and realized this means 4 job changes in 4 years, and I put a stop to that. In pursuit of some stability, I refocused on Core Decoded Consulting LLC.

As I search for full-time employment opportunities, I am working remotely from home as a freelance publicist and ghost writer.
