The Beginning

Life has a funny way of leading you directly where you were always supposed to be. And sometimes, it’s not the pretty picture we paint in our minds. To understand the woman I am today, you must know where I came from (and why the number ‘3’ is a recurring theme in my business).

I made my grand entrance into this world three months early, a mere 3 lb., 6 oz. baby girl, fighting to mark her place in this world and make her presence known. Thirty days later, I began my life outside the hospital’s walls. That introduction set the tone for the trajectory of my life and helped me create a personal mantra that still rings true today: Never underestimate me.

The truth is — I wasn’t supposed to be here. All odds were stacked against me, yet I surpassed everyone’s expectations, blossoming into a dynamite of a woman with something to say.

I truly believe I was meant to do the work I do. A perfect mix of introvert and extrovert, I made intentional moves, observed, and created peace in chaotic situations. Whether that was helping my parents plan and organize their events or caring for my mother as her health declined, taking the lead was never a problem for me. Dubbed “the responsible one,” I felt most myself when I served others.

The Evolution

It’s no surprise that I entered the professional world as an executive assistant turned secretary and have spent the last 25 years administratively serving, whether for mom-and-pop stores, large retail corporations, or as a CEO. Each role has required me to reinvent myself, pulling back every layer of management and leadership and transforming those skills into tangible results. I always possessed an innate gift to take a unique idea, develop clear strategies as roadmaps, and bring them to fruition.
