How I can help

My professional background

I don't have a fancy computer science degree or an MBA. While others waited tables or hung at the beach throughout undergrad, I carried a full course load, worked 30 hours a week as an editor and writer, and bootstrapped a bustling tech and design side hustle. As a result, I have a couple decades of entrenched experience with entrepreneurs and leaders within a variety of industries that makes me a bit more strategically agile, practical, and innovative. Identifying patterns and unforeseen opportunities is my greatest strength.

Today, business intelligence analysis and continual improvement processes excite me, while I retain limited engagement with my origins in brand strategy, communications, and web development, for which I have earned high-visibility press and a few awards.

The values I offer are compassion and integrity, candor and humor—both within a team and with clients. I have a solid reputation for being flexible, efficient, and trustworthy.

I also proudly mentor young entrepreneurs, colleagues, and those in career or life transition.

How to work with me

What I can offer

Pragmatic, honest, practical guidance with empathy

My expectations for a successful mentoring relationship

I hope we can be honest with each other and not be afraid of the vulnerability of entrepreneurship.
