I have been an entrepreneur since before I knew that was a thing. I was the kid with the side-by-side lemonade stand and carwash. I remember calculating ways to make more money at the stand by selling candy and friendship bracelets—always about being a hustler, always striving to maximize time and increase profits, even before I could do math. But it was more than a hustle for me. Business is in my bones. I love working and, more importantly, I love working on work and helping others meet their potential.
I have never been one to shy away from work, turn down a challenge, or live a life ordinarily. I started my first “official” business while I was still in college and continued on a rampage of founding, running, buying, and selling multiple businesses over the next couple of decades. From television production to Pilates, pole dancing, burlesque, costuming, music management, retail, ghost writing, journalism, translation, podcasting, marketing, and even a commercial fishing business, I have literally done it all and accumulated incredible insights and expertise that I now use in my consulting, coaching, and other businesses every single day.

Leadership Coaching
Sometimes you just need an outsider! I collaborate with C-Suite and other senior managers to enhance leadership skills and approaches.
