For ten years, I worked in corporate operations. I was the person people called when something was broken, a deadline was on fire, or nobody could figure out why the process that made perfect sense on paper spectacularly failed in real life.
And i was good at it. Really damn good. I built systems for teams of hundreds, streamlined workflows held together by institutional stubborness and duct tape, and earned a reputation as the person who could walk into chaos and leave behind something that worked.
But around year eight, I noticed something...
The founders and small business owners in my orbit were drowning in the exact same problems I solved every day. They just didn't have access to the same caliber of operational thinking. They couldn't afford a full-time COO. And most of the “systems” content online was either too shallow to matter or too corporate to translate. So I left.
Now I work as a fractional COO and systems strategist for small business owners who are ready to stop being the bottleneck in their own company.
I embed in businesses, audit what's working and what isn't, build the infrastructure for sustainable growth, and train teams to actually use it. My clients stop working weekends. They take real vacations. They hire with confidence. They scale without the spiral.
I'm also a Pilates instructor, a homeschooling mom of two, and a firm believer that a well-built system is the most underrated form of self-care.
If your business is running on vibes, caffeine and prayer, there is a solution. I've seen it all and I'm exactly who you need. Click here to get in touch.

She was so thorough in my visits and always asked more than once what I was most concerned about.
Dr.Newingham was my family physician for the past several years and I could not have been happier with the care she provided. [...] She answered all my questions and referred me to specialists when needed. She made the process of tests clear and easy and follow up with me promptly."
