Strategist. Designer. Leader.

My background includes early legal and administrative work within a Fortune 500 environment, later followed by management and leadership roles in banking and financial services as a Certified Escrow Officer, where I helped build and grow businesses from within. It also includes healthcare and veterinary management, consulting, entrepreneurship, and small business ownership. Over the years, I have created tens of thousands of marketing assets and contributed to more than 100 websites.

Still, titles and numbers only tell part of the story. What those years have really given me is perspective, discernment, and a deep respect for the people behind the work. More than anything, they have taught me that good work begins with listening, and that the most lasting results come from clarity, trust, and a genuine understanding of what is at stake.

I have also spent much of my adult life supporting the human-animal bond, a calling that shaped both my personal life and my professional path. Over the years, I raised, trained, and exhibited champion Quarter Horses and Golden Retrievers, served as an AKC judge, held board positions, and wrote the award-winning book The Golden Retriever, An Owner’s Survival Guide.

That chapter of my life taught me discipline, responsibility, patience, and deep respect for the connection between people and the work they care about most. It also sharpened my understanding of stewardship, something that continues to shape how I work with founders, organizations, and mission-driven businesses today.
