Day In The Life Of A Foundation Co-Founder

My Day to Day

My work depends on the day. I wear many hats within our organization and the day's work is often dictated by upcoming events and office management needs. That said, in a nutshell, I oversee all of our organization's day-to-day operations and event planning.

Skills & Education

Here's the path I took:

  • High School

  • Bachelor's Degree

    Speech Communication and Promotional Marketing

    Colorado State University

Life & Career Milestones

My path in life has been direct

  • 1.

    After earning my bachelor’s degree in speech communication and promotional marketing, I began my career in marketing.

  • 2.

    Witnessing a young boy's needs during a shoe distribution event sparked my passion for addressing basic necessities for underserved kids.

  • 3.

    My husband and I founded Goodie Two Shoes with a vision to empower kids by providing them the choice of brand-new shoes—an experience my husband, who grew up differently than me, never had.

  • 4.

    After moving to Las Vegas, Nevada, we planned our first shoe distribution event for one day—it has since grown into a 21-year legacy.

  • 5.

    As the foundation grew, we expanded from a single event to a mobile unit, reaching more schools and making a broader impact year-round.
