The partner
behind everyfounder
I run the operating layer of your business: your calendar, communications, meetings, projects, and the confidential work in between.
What founders get back.
Outcomes from the companies I've supported, not just the tasks I've handled.
First-year revenue from courses I built
Created 20+ courses that earned nearly $100K in their first year, helping the company reach six figures in revenue within a year.
EducationRunning the operational backbone
Calendar, live cohorts, onboarding, billing and affiliate payouts, and SOPs since 2021, plus NASM, AFFA, and ACE accreditation renewals and new course accreditation prep.

Time handed back to leaders across ten years of executive support, so they could focus on growth.

Marketing
An assistant supports your day. A partner runs it with you.
For ten years I've been the person executives hand the hard stuff to. Not to wait for instructions, but to own the outcome.
- Meeting cadence designed, documented, and followed through
- Projects driven from kickoff to close
- Deal and contract work handled with discretion
Here's what moves off your plate.
Six areas I run end to end, so your week goes back to you.
The work, industry by industry.
Pick an industry to see the challenge, what I did, and what changed.
A fast-growing functional-health education company needed one person to hold the entire student and course experience together.

- Ran live cohorts, graduations, office hours, and Lunch & Learns
- Managed onboarding, offboarding, and the member community
- Handled billing, invoicing, and affiliate payouts
- Led NASM, AFFA, and ACE accreditation renewals and new course prep
- Wrote the SOPs and forms that keep it all repeatable
Nearly $100K from new courses in their first year, six figures in company revenue within a year, and five years running the operational backbone.
Chicago's biggest design community runs its largest event of the year on a small team and a packed calendar.
- Managed the Director's scheduling and communications
- Reached out to and coordinated vendors
- Coordinated designers, artists, galleries, sponsors, media, and philanthropic partners
- Supported the event through to the after party
- Proofread email for tone, created graphics, and wrote project descriptions
A 2,500+ person Annual Gallery Walk delivered, with every partner group aligned and the Director free to lead.
The COO needed clean data and fast research to keep deals and investor conversations moving.
- Ran market and investor research in PitchBook and Affinity
- Kept CRM data accurate in Salesforce
- Built performance and deal-flow reports across all three platforms
- Prepared contracts and followed up on compliance
One reliable view of deal flow across Salesforce, PitchBook, and Affinity, so decisions moved faster.
Interior design firms need awards, press, and new projects, but designers don't have time to write about their own work.
- Write project pitches and project descriptions
- Research and look up the right contacts
- Prepare and submit projects for design awards
- Help draft the annual marketing plan
Award-ready submissions and a clear marketing plan for the year. Earlier in marketing, I served as Chief of Staff to a CEO for three years.
A music and entertainment startup's CEO was the single point of contact for everyone, and growth was stalling.
- Became the CEO's primary point of contact for shareholders, partners, and clients
- Owned scheduling, deadlines, and team collaboration
- Onboarded new clients
- Resolved customer complaints quickly
The CEO got back to strategy, and I found the work I've built a career on.
