Back in 1999, I moved from Seattle to Spokane, Wa, where my husband kids and I still live today. I took a job for $10 an hour ( I know right...) It was my first real corporate opportunity and I made the most of it. Learning all of the in's and out's of finance, marketing, sales and operations. Over the next 13 years I leveled up my skills - specifically in business strategy, public relations, communication sales and marketing. I was blessed to make it to the executive level as VP of Marketing.

I loved my job and the company I worked for- the traditional 9-5 just wasn't working for our family. So when our son was born in 2012- I quit.People thought I was nuts- but I didn't care- I was ready for something new.

With no idea what my next step was going to be, I jumped into being a full time mom. That didn't last a hot minute. I love to work and I love business. And our lifestyle is two income. I knew there had to be a way to earn an income from home doing something I loved.

Sadly, the company I had worked for folded. Many of my peers took jobs with other companies and before I knew it, my phone was ringing. People were looking for help with their strategic business plans, marketing message, social media and more. Before I knew it, Banka Consulting was born.

Since then, my passion and business have evolved. Now I work with home based business owners and entrepreneurs to help them level up. I know the more people I help to realize their business dreams, the more families and communities will benefit. Your future success drives me every day. I can't wait to help you own it from home!
