Do you have an idea or a project that needs someone to take the reigns and get it done?

I’m your gal.

I have intentionally curated my toolbox to include business administration, strategic planning, visual and written communications, and team leadership.

Let’s get to work.

Make it Happen.

Decades of Growth

By launching several businesses, leading organizations through growth and innovation, and earning a Master’s in Business Administration, I have refined my approach on successful project delivery.

Surrounded by entrepreneurs as a child, I began answering phones, filing papers, and bringing my own ideas to life with The Print Shop and a Xerox machine. Everything was possible.

My undergraduate degree focused on social enterprise, a deep understanding of for- and non-profit organizations. I also earned a chef’s training diploma.

Today, I am excited to lead teams with creativity, innovation, and a custom toolkit.
