Client Happiness Expert

It’s a statement of pride when someone can say they built something from nothing – but few people have built something like Angelica.

We’re talking about an entire community, from raw land to family homes, with roads, sewer lines, and street signs. With no background in community planning, she whipped up a subdivision in Southern Oregon and made it look easy. It’s that kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get it done attitude that she brings to Idea Decanter.

ANGELICA’S SOUTH AMERICAN ROOTS

When the Idea Decanter team needs help en español, Angelica is the go-to. She was born in New York to immigrant parents. Raised in a home that cultivated the Bolivian culture, Angelica and grew up speaking Spanish. Her parents instilled in her a love for their culture and food with trips to visit family in Bolivia.

Lately, she’s made those trips with her kids Keagan and Aisling in tow. Both have gone through a Spanish-immersion program at a school where Angelica is a frequent volunteer. Between the classroom and the homework around the dining room table, los niños challenge Angelica to keep her language skills sharp.

FLUENT IN CLIENT HAPPINESS

hen she’s not helping her kids with homework, baking bread, gardening, or cleaning – oh yes, she’s a self-confessed clean freak, leave your shoes at the door! – Angelica’s passion is helping clients.

She once worked for a third party billing company where clients who were struggling or unhappy were sent her way. Loving the challenge, she worked to not just make them happy, but to expand their investment in the company. Angelica will tell you that turning angry clients into happy clients is what makes her tick.
