How long have you been at Straus?
17 Years 10 months

How did you get here? What did you do before?
I’ve been immersed in the Organic and Natural Food Industry since I was 19, starting my journey as a customer service representative and inside sales associate at Sunspire Chocolates in San Leandro. Over the years, I progressed through various roles, culminating in my position as Trade Show Manager and Consumer Relations Manager before leaving in late 2006.  I joined Straus Family Creamery as the Field Marketing Manager, where I oversaw our field merchandisers and managed events, including demos and trade shows, while working remotely. My responsibilities also included assisting in Consumer Relations. Now, as the Marketing Manager, I lead our strategic marketing initiatives, social media management, creative projects, new product development process, and farmers market oversight.

What do you like about working at Straus?
What I love about working at Straus Family Creamery is how our core values—quality, integrity, transparency, and authenticity—align with my own. Working for Albert Straus is always inspiring; his genuine spirit and infectious energy make it easy to be passionate about our mission. He truly embodies the heart of SFC.

What is your favorite Straus product?
It’s definitely our sour cream—it's a staple on my employee order!

What do you like to do in your free time?
In my free time, I enjoy outdoor adventures, especially camping (or “glamping”) with my family. We travel across the U.S. in our fifth wheel, exploring incredible national parks like Yosemite, Glacier, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and many more.
