I'm a 10-year systems and ops veteran turned marketer (woah – I know!), host of the show Inside the Process, a proud mom of two boys, a gold medal-holding blue belt in jiu-jitsu, a health-conscious foodie and weigh-lifter, a content creator and so much more…
And yeah…a relentless advocate for high performance and doing anything you put your mind to!
Because I believe in you, and you just need to believe in you too.
My work-life superpower? Making ideas happen, creating systems, making work easier and helping everyone grow! I've spent years leading continuous improvement initiatives and have worked on just about everything a business touches at its roots. Whether it's process improvement, systems, ops, tech, marketing, project management… or anything in between… I'm always down to crush it. (And I usually do…humble brag.)
My personal superpower? I have an uncanny ability to see the silver lining and transform obstacles into stepping stones for growth. I've mastered the art of resilience and versatility. I have an unwavering belief that with the right mindset and determination, any hurdle can be overcome.
