Welcome from the Board Chair

Our Chamber is only as strong as the community it serves.

Dear Fellow Members,

It is my honor to serve as your Board Chair for the 2025–2027 term. As the founder of Local As Can Bee — an e-commerce marketplace helping Burbank's brick-and-mortar businesses reach customers online — I understand firsthand the challenges and triumphs of building a business in our beloved city.

Having called Burbank home for nearly 20 years, I've watched our business community grow into something truly extraordinary. My vision for this term is simple: strengthen the bridge between our established businesses and the next generation of entrepreneurs, deepen our commitment to diversity and inclusion, and ensure every member feels the tangible value of belonging to this Chamber.

I also serve on the board of Elevate Burbank, a nonprofit promoting cultural diversity, and co-founded the Destiny Education Project advocating for racial justice in our schools. I bring this same passion for community equity to the Chamber.
