Liz Martinez

Director of Administration At a very young age, Liz dreamed of being a police officer. She had an innate ability and desire to help people. When Liz was a sophomore in college, that same ability and desire shifted to care for her family. She pursued her business degree, and after the birth of her son, she took a role with an outsourcing company where she was introduced to law firm management. Since then, Liz has held various levels of responsibility within the legal industry. After Cathy Thorne’s retirement, Liz stepped into the Director of Administration’s role at Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti in March of 2021. “I love the opportunities to work with intelligent people who are committed to helping their clients,” said Liz. “Here, I am still able to help people, just in a different capacity.” Liz is a wife, mother to four amazing kids, and a soon-to-be grandmother. Her family is her foundation and what makes her proudest. Besides her family, fostering teamwork and helping people succeed is what drives her. “I love when people around me shine,” Liz said. “Looking ahead, I want to continue to push myself to be better.” Liz dove right into her new role at Boulder’s largest law firm and is motivated to look at ways for our firm to expand and best serve our clients. “I am privileged to work with an amazing group of people at Berg Hill Greenleaf Ruscitti, and I am looking forward to what’s to come!”

LAFAYETTE EL MERCADO GROCERIES CARNICERIA 503 S.

FRONT RANGE FLOWER POWER LET BLUEBIRD FLORAL UPLIFT YOUR MOOD WITH CUSTOM BOUQUETS AND DAILY DELIVERIES.

T’S NO SECRET THAT FLOWERS CARRY SOME SORT OF MOODBOOSTING, SUPERPOWER QUALITIES, AND FLORIST ARIANNA PATRICK IS EAGER TO HARNESS THOSE SUPERPOWERS. Bluebird Floral bloomed two summers ago here in Boulder with a mission to provide top-of-the-line flowers focused on color themes and specialized design aspects. Seeking to find a creative outlet while tending to her family from

home, Patrick cultivated her concept alongside business partner, Becky. What first began as a wedding and special events-based operation, gradually grew into a more individualized, a la carte way to shop for flowers and floral arrangements. Over the course of the pandemic, Patrick flipped her detached studio into a flower haven, her passion being art and making things with her hands. With a slogan of “Wow, easy!” Bluebird Floral exemplifies a modern approach to ordering and receiving flowers—all while focusing on floral beauty. Flowers are an artform after all! “Coming out of not being able to get together during the pandemic, we’d love to be able to get into people’s homes,” Patrick said. “What better way to take your next al fresco dinner party or summer wedding to the next level!” More recently, in an effort to support the Front Range community in mourning the 10 lives lost, Patrick began placing 15-20 bouquets outside her home for placement at the South Boulder King Soopers. Over 75 hand-tied bouquets were picked up and placed at the memorial site. Looking for a special way to celebrate Mom? “There’s nothing better than a surprise flower delivery,” exclaims Patrick. Or even better, send mom flowers once a month for a gift that keeps on giving. For working mamas, Patrick recommends getting an arrangement delivered on a Friday for extra brownie points and so she can show off to her coworkers. For more information on class offerings, the ladies behind Bluebird, and lots of pretty petals, check out their website or Instagram page.

READY TO

DIVE IN? IF YOU’RE DREAMING OF AN OUTDOOR RENOVATION, JOHN HERRON HAS A FEW TIPS TO BEST PREPARE YOU FOR THE ROAD AHEAD.

01 CALL EARLY.

Large outdoor renovation projects take many months of design and planning, so be thinking ahead—even farther ahead than you may assume.

02 HAVE A BUDGET IN MIND.

The best landscaping and construction are not inexpensive, so having a sense of what you’re willing to spend facilitates better discussions and expectations.

03 BRAINSTORM IDEAS.

Your outdoor space should be about your enjoyment and reflect your aesthetic. Whether you include just basic needs or specific design inspiration, have some thoughts recorded to kickstart conversations.

04 HAVE PATIENCE.

Many of the processes involved in outdoor renovations cannot be rushed, and unpredictable elements like the weather can delay timelines. Remember that the end result will be more than worth the time.

05 REMEMBER THE INVESTMENT.

Well-designed, well-constructed outdoor living projects add immense valuable living space to a property. The goal is to create a space you will love so much that you end up using it even more than your interior family room!

HOW CAN YOU PREVENT S K I N C A N C E R ? DR. OVERMAN: The easiest answer is stay out of the sun, but for most of us, that’s not a reasonable answer. I love hiking, mountain biking, skiing, going to the beach and being outdoors. As with most things in life, moderation is key. Spending more time in the shade during peak sun hours from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. is a good start. Wearing long sleeves and a wide-brimmed hat are great ideas. The last line of defense is wearing sunscreen. Just like brushing your teeth, putting on a daily moisturizer/sunscreen combo on your face, ears and neck should be a part of everyone’s daily routine. I treat hundreds of skin cancers on the lips and ears every year, so make sure you apply sunscreen there too. My patients who do this every day look 10-15 years younger and have significantly fewer cancers than their counterparts who do not.

W H AT A R E Y O U R T O P 5 T H I N G S T O D O T O TA K E C A R E O F Y O U R S K I N ? DR. OVERMAN: 01 Put on facial moisturizer with SPF 30 or greater every day. 02 Use retinol or prescription retinoid cream every night before bed.

Peterson opened Smith+Canon Ice Cream Co. nearly three years ago in Denver on East Colfax, naming the business after his two daughters. “One of the reasons ice cream appealed to me was that it was something that the girls would be able to relate to and might even capture their imagination at some point,” he shares.

The modern alcove is set with bright wood and glass and has a private patio that sets the stage for a darn good scoop and sip with the whole family. Prior to opening his business, Peterson was an avid cook and developed his own method for making ice cream from scratch.

LEARN THE FACTS WITH IMPACT WEALTH

WHAT COMES TO MIND IF WE ASKED YOU WHAT YOUR BIGGEST RETIREMENT RISKS ARE? Many people quickly get to questions around how much they need, and what kind of growth on their assets will be needed. Surprisingly, we hear a lot less conversation around how big of a role taxes will play in retirement, and even less around effective tools for increasing how much you can invest for retirement.

FORWARD STEPS SUPPORTS FOSTER YOUTH BY WORKING AS A PARTNER TO HELP INDIVIDUALS DETERMINE THEIR UNIQUE PASSIONS AND APTITUDES.

FOUNDED IN 2006 BY BOULDER-BASED ENTREPRENEUR AND PHILANTHROPIST MILTON HUFFAKER AND HIS DAUGHTER, SABRINA, FORWARD STEPS HELPS FOSTER YOUTH OVERCOME IMMENSE BARRIERS THEY FACE AS THEY TRANSITION TO ADULTHOOD. Utilizing the latest research and data on how to support at-risk youth as they work toward a trade certificate or degree, the organization combines a mixture of mentoring, coaching and financial assistance to produce the best outcomes for minority and under-resourced youth as they journey through college. Executive Director Jennifer Falkoski, PsyD, says the program is uniquely designed to truly partner with our scholars to set them up to succeed at a very critical time in their lives.

GIVING BACK (CONTINUED)

“When they make the decision to enter college, they are saying that despite all that they’ve endured in their young lives, they are going to enter another new and difficult stage because they envision a future for themselves that is bright. Forward Steps says, ‘Yes, we believe in you and are there for you in whatever way you need to achieve not only your professional goals but by giving you the tools to live well throughout your life,’” says Falkoski. Participants in the Guardian Scholars Program receive up to $6,000 per year in financial assistance; personal and professional development workshops; mentoring support; expert, personalized academic and career readiness services; and a College Prep 101 course. “We approach our mission with a great deal of sobriety and practical understanding. We know that we are working with young people who have faced trauma and whose trust we’ll have to earn,” says Falkoski. They want every foster youth in the state to believe post-secondary education is a realistic option for them and that their potential is not capped by their ability to pay for school. They’re hoping to serve 35 students for the fall semester.
