Business Office Manager/ Assistant Division Manager - Finance

Executive Assistant

In a world of endless options, I help clarify the simplest path to a productive, engaged workplace. It’s all about the right people and the right processes.

With experience working in both large and small companies across various industries, from entry-level to upper management, I have a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed. As a Credit Manager, Finance Analyst, and member of a consultant management team, I've had the opportunity to see the inner workings of over 60 small businesses.

From these experiences, I've gained valuable insights that shape my approach. For instance:
💡Success and failure are measured differently for each organization.
💡Engaged teams are essential to achieving a business's mission.
💡The simplest ways to increase employee engagement are often overlooked.
💡Miscommunication is costly and underlies most issues.
💡There are many right ways to achieve an exceptional outcome.

RunROI

We think we need to be good at running to run.

We think it’s not for us because we can’t run a mile or run fast or run a long time. 

What if running has nothing to do with those things? What if I could show you that running IS for you, no matter what?

What if running is more an exercise in showing up for yourself and building trust that you can do something unexpected, something outside of your comfort zone.

The Pregnancy Pause

I’ll tell you a little story:



When I was in 2nd grade, I wrote a short story for a writing contest, the “Young Author’s Award”. My story was called, The Eagle That Came For Jenny. I also illustrated it, but that’s not what this story is about.

I won the award. 

Some dipshit from the judging group told my mom they almost didn’t give me the award because they couldn’t believe a second grader had written the dang thing.

Cause it was good as hell.

But I did write it. And I kept writing. Unfortunately a lot of it was sad poetry, but I also wrote my way through a college English degree, nonprofit jobs, and into entrepreneurship.

And now, I get to write for founders, write for creative agencies, and run a whole bunch of f-ing miles. All by choice!

I am an ultrarunner who is training for a 100k and I believe running can change your business. I’m not f-ing around either, I’m so so serious. It gives you everything you need to be better at work, life, and yourself. I’m happy to call you and list all the reasons but even happier if you just let me coach you so you can find out for yourself. 

And I’m no judge, but my story about the eagle taking a little girl to be raised with the eagles? It’s a story for the ages and maybe even a little bit true. 🦅
