My professional career has taken me on several paths that have enabled me to know how to pivot and adapt using my skills to serve those around me. As a music teacher I learned the value of listening, analysis and how to bring growth to others. I became a leader in my department and helped implement curriculum improvements as well as be a presenter at conference events.

Working in administration and finance for a manufacturing company allowed me to expand those skills by evaluating needs and implementing changes in both HR and Finance. I was a part of a team that took the company through some difficult challenges which highlighted the need for experts and consultants for small business owners.

Currently, my consulting and business development has been enhanced by the variety of things I have experienced over my career and allows me to listen with empathy.
