My story is fairly straightforward: I'm a small town Midwestern girl, moved to the big city, got a fabulous job, then a great apartment, fell in love...and now I'm living happily every after!

Ha...I wish it was all that simple! The reality is a lot more complex, with many twists and turns. Sometimes I wonder how I've come out the other end, but I have, and embraced every step along the way.

In reality, I accidentally moved to New York City during the summer of 2001. To explain the accidental part – I came to visit a friend and just never left (imagine that conversation with my mother!). New York City can do that to you. I hustled to find a job and landed a waitressing gig on the Upper East Side in just 2 weeks. I started that job with $30 in my pocket while sleeping on a friend's couch, and brazenly began an unexpected new life.

Since then, I’ve worked on TV shows for Comedy Central, interviewed supermodels, launched marketing campaigns for luxury cars, led the branding and tech efforts for a political movement, and led strategic conversations with billionaire business owners. I work with Fortune 500 companies, mid-sized businesses, and early-stage startups, and in 2017 I Co-Founded the HR Tech platform, Sayge. I've always loved creatively helping businesses embrace change and find future success. Over the past two decades, I’ve applied an “anything is possible” mindset and apply that thinking still today. 

My approach to business strategy is leveraging my ability to deeply connect and listen to clients and customers. Whether we’re working on a product roadmap, consumer research, team transformation or an overall new business strategy, I’ll look between the lines to see what’s not being said and unlock any team or individual dynamics getting in the way of progress.

My passion lies in helping businesses, executives, and teams see new possibilities and create plans that help achieve their goals. I love building strategies that turn aspirations into reality. I thrive in working with people who want and embrace change and who are excited at doing the work to move confidently make progress. 

My "anything is possible" mindset has been built on a foundation of curiosity, determination, and perseverance that has seen me through life and professional experiences and has driven me to learn, grow, and stretch myself. I look forward to bringing this mindset to working together and delivering results for your business.
