Thrilled to share that I’ve officially accepted the role of California Market Manager with Spiribam.

It’s truly an honor to represent such beautiful, authentic legacy brands within the Spiribam portfolio. As I step into this next chapter, I can’t help but reflect on the many friends, mentors, colleagues, and clients who have supported, challenged, and inspired me throughout my journey in this industry.

Grateful for where this path has led me and excited for what’s ahead. Looking forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and building new relationships along the way. 💚 @spiribam

After 3 years with @casalumbrespirits , I’m saying goodbye to a chapter that means so much to me.

I fell deeply in love with these brands. Ivan’s vision, the stories, and the purpose behind it all, but what made it truly special were the people! Working alongside such talented teams across the U.S. and Mexico turned coworkers into lifelong friends.

Thank you for trusting me, supporting me, and letting me grow alongside you.

Forever grateful and so excited for what’s next. 🤍 by @catalinayala
