Haleigh (Luyah) Van Putten

Portland,OR

Summary

Experienced in many arenas: sales, service, coaching, safety, managing, small business owning, and care... I cultivate comfortable environments for clients of all kinds to open up and feel welcome and at ease, taken care of, and excited in order for them to have the best experience with the companies that I work with. I'm a master of the art of small talk and able to bob and weave in and out of the social-work environment. As well as a powerful persuader in sales, which is the backbone of every industry. I'm an efficient multitasker and very comfortable wearing a lot of "hats" at once. Building solid rapport with customers is key, in order for my companies to rank highly and remain "premier" in Portland.

My secret ninja skill, besides being a fine artist, is living and working as a martial artist since 2017. I am nearing my brown belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, compete regularly, and coach in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. I run the Women's BJJ Program still at Mata Leao Combat Sports, a small business that I run with my husband, the head coach. I train in Muay Thai and wrestling, and train with the MMA competition team. 

I love knowing that I can protect myself and my community, as well as teach and inspire others to be active and learn to defend themselves as well.
