First jobs/roles before TPC
Who is this: I was a cook turned manager at a little diner at a marina serving breakfast and lunch for ten years. Additionally I farmed full and part time for many years (organic produce primarily but also work with pigs, chicken and cows, a few sheep in there as well). On top of that, I worked as an Exercise Physiologist for a total of 8 years (took a break to travel and farm). Can’t forget about the 2 years I worked in wilderness therapy as well, loved my at risk teenagers.

Aki
Who is this: I have been self-employed most of my life: I had a successful photography business for 7 years until I moved to Colorado and I didn't have it in me to start from scratch after the move. I have owned and operated an Airbnb since 2018 and have been a Superhost for every year of operation. I have also always bartended off an on and been in the service industry my entire life. In Colorado, I was the front-of-the-house and general manager for a local brewery that has won multiple GABF awards, and that is a very fun community to be involved in!
Jennifer
Who is this: I'm terrified of frogs. I had tadpoles as a kid and watching them turn into frogs really freaked me out. Then they escaped from their container and suddenly I had a bunch of tiny, freaky little mutants in my room. I still get a little clammy thinking about it.
Danielle
Who is this: I worked at a daycare teaching preschool for 5 years. I also coached a collegiate dance team as well as previously was a four year member of the team. I’ve been a student my whole life at this point and so managing school/athletics/job has taken all my time. I have always loved children and am always looking for ways to connect with kids
