Laicina did a phenomenal job managing our wedding which allowed my wife and I to focus on our special day, completely stress free! We could tell Laicina truly cared for us, our many guests, and went above and beyond to take care of all the finer details. From start to finish, the whole day ran flawlessly and would not have wanted anyone else but Laicina at the helm. Laicina is a true professional that goes the extra mile to delight her clients -- would highly recommend!

If you have a complex project, task or event, Laicina is the person you want on your team managing all the details. Laicina worked on my team for years and I could trust her ability to get jobs done with little to no supervision. Laicina even knew how to take on brand new situations and learn what mattered within those areas or industries - specifically what needed to happen when we opened a store inside Portland International Airport. She's not one to shy away from a challenge and I would hire her again (and again).

I work with over 180 vendors across multiple categories to bring Northwest souvenirs and outdoor gear to customers at our historic lodge and the Portland International Airport. I’ve increased private label sales 181% while maintaining a strong product margin and net profit. I’ve accomplished this with tactical communication to collaborate with managers, an emphasis on data analysis, strong vendor management skills and implementing an AutoPO program.
