Barbara Oliveira-Beckham, MBA

As Marketing and Operations Manager at Courageous Healing Inc., Barbara applies strategic thinking to our client experience and marketing functions. Her core responsibilities include organizing smooth processes to help people transition from prospect to client and articulating our organization's visual presence in all of the many shapes and forms it takes.

Before Courageous Healing Inc., Barbara worked in nonprofit marketing strategy, entrepreneurship, project management, and research roles. During her time working in higher education, she designed ways to draw students into their passions, recognized their challenges, and translated them into new collaborative initiatives. Fueled by an insatiable curiosity, Barbara is passionate about the power of human stories to inspire great design and bring about social change.

Born and raised in Brazil, she now calls two different countries "home." She earned a tennis scholarship to study at Indiana Tech, which brought her to Fort Wayne. She holds a bachelor's degree in Communication and a master's degree in Business Administration with a Marketing concentration. As an immigrant, she continuously strives to brew a balanced blend of the two cultures.

When she shuts off her laptop, she seeks calm in meditation or an energetic boost by exercising. Although her favorite time of day is early morning, her idea of a perfect evening is surrounded by family enjoying good food & laughter.
