In my teens, I formed a band called Pride Before The Fall, which sparked my passion for marketing, design, and management. The band gained momentum, eventually competing on LATV Networks Battle of the Bands, where we took first place on national TV! It was an unforgettable highlight of my life and shaped much of who I am today.

After the band split, I continued my passion for music by opening Modern Cultures, my first brick-and-mortar business—a music venue! This experience taught me a lot about running a business, and I got to dive into another passion of mine: audio engineering, by handling the live sound. It was an incredible time where I brought down some amazing bands to perform right here in Yuma! I was only 18 years old!

I worked with two local marketing agencies, taking on roles like graphic and website designer, which immersed me in creative work. I was even invited to become a business partner and Chief Creative Officer at another agency. These experiences were invaluable, teaching me the importance of teamwork and helping me fully recognize the value of my creative talents.

I moved on to launch my own creative ventures, Creative Two and VIDM, both focused on design—ranging from print visuals to web design, and a bit of social media. These businesses were the perfect foundation for what was ahead, and I had the opportunity to work with some amazing Yuma-based companies over two years. However, after my father passed, I took a break to heal and care for my mother.

After my father passed, I felt a void and needed something to reignite my passion. That’s when I discovered Steel Mace Training, inspired by my father’s health struggles to prioritize fitness. I became a steel mace coach, launched SteelMaceWarrior.com, and used my marketing skills to grow it into a successful brand—my first trademark, and still running strong today.

I joined the Evolution Strength team as a group class trainer and handled their marketing efforts. It’s was an Olympic weightlifting gym that provided many individuals with the space and guidance to grow and evolve till it's last days during COVID Outbreak.

After my dad passed, I stopped making music since it was something we shared—he taught me guitar, and it was painful to continue. Eventually, I found my way back to songwriting, a passion that soothes my soul. I started a solo project, Tori BLK, wrote an entire EP, and still write music to express my emotions and stay creatively active.

With my experience, my family asked me to be Marketing Manager at their functional medicine clinic, and I gladly accepted! Using my marketing skills, along with my background in fitness and nutrition, I’ve helped their business thrive while supporting their mission from behind the scenes. It’s the only in-house role I’ve taken on, and I’m proud to be part of their team.

I'm proud that my mama saw me earn my Bachelor's in Metaphysics from the University of Metaphysics. Now, I'm a metaphysical practitioner, ordained minister, and certified Reiki Practitioner (Levels 1 and 2). Spirituality is as essential as breathing to me, and it's woven into everything I do. I'm also pursuing a Master's in Metaphysics—my journey continues!

Yes, my mother passed away this year, leaving a void in my heart. This loss made me realize the brevity of life and the importance of pursuing our passions fully while helping others. After two years as her full-time caregiver, I learned many lessons that made me stronger. This experience inspired me to pursue health coaching to better understand chronic conditions and make a difference in our community and beyond.

Everything I've done in my life has led me to Starseed Web—what a journey it's been! I’m clear on my passion: helping small businesses grow. I understand their struggles and am here to lend a helping hand. My mission is to fill the gaps and support you every step of the way with Online Marketing.
