About Me

I’m a finance geek who loves helping founders turn ideas into investor-ready businesses. I know what investors want to see and how to frame your story so you can get the support, funding, and traction you need.

When we work together, we’ll start by figuring out what matters most for hitting your next milestone, then build a clear plan to get you there — step by step.

On the personal front – I am a mom to a creative and energetic thirteen-year-old girl who keeps me in the know of where the next generation’s head is at. When I’m not deep in strategy or spreadsheets, you can find me on the tennis court, bouldering wall, yoga mat, or camping in my RV. I am a go-to person when it comes to starting a camp fire.
