ABOUT

My very first business card included my family’s home phone number and some very cute clipart.

I was eleven years old, entering the world of entrepreneurship by way of sewing items for my grandmother and her friends. While I had a few things to learn—like profit margins and bookkeeping—I always knew I’d own my own business. 

And I came by it honestly. My father started his own remodeling company out of our home, and I have vivid memories as a child of just wanting to be around his business. I’d wander into his office and ask to dust the copier or sort the coins on his desk. I even set up a stand outside his office, where I’d sell trinkets to his employees as they passed by. 

Even back then, I sensed the excitement and possibility that a small business could create. I felt the ambition that I would later see in my own clients: that drive to create, to be a mover, to form new spaces, to make something good. 

To do honest work that makes you proud.

So, when I started my consulting business in 2018, I set out as an agent for change. I wanted to be a resource and a listening ear for business owners walking out what can be a pretty lonely journey. 

What I want for anyone who crosses paths with me—be it through consulting, content curation, branding, web design, or photography—is for them to feel like they’ve found a friend and a guide who understands exactly where they are and how to move them forward.

Come out of the chaos. Step forward with both the confidence of an eleven-year-old with a clipart business card, and the peace that comes from following the path of someone who’s gone before you.

Strength and balance can be a part of your world as you enter your own entrepreneurship journey. I’m here to show you how.

But through the years, in working manual jobs, multiple retail positions, in strategic management roles, and eventually as VP of a rapidly growing, multi-city restaurant group, I became intimately familiar with the pains and difficulties of running a small business. 

Its joys are mixed with sorrows, and sometimes it seems as if we’re perpetually treading water. 

From those experiences evolved a new love: helping people find calm ground in the midst of their busy lives.

So much of the business world is loud. Agitated. Oftentimes a frenzy of deadlines, unrealistic expectations, and tight budgets. 

I know. I’ve lived it.
