Early in her career, she worked with large corporations in the technology and telecom sectors, leading process improvement initiatives, customer operations, and large-scale implementation projects.

What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to maintaining a strong balance between my personal life and business, which allows me to avoid burnout and stay aligned with my priorities. I’ve learned to set clear boundaries, recognize when to shift focus between family and business, and be intentional about what I say yes or no to. A key part of my success also comes from helping other small business owners do the same—supporting them in making aligned decisions so they can sustain their businesses without becoming overwhelmed or burned out, especially solo entrepreneurs who often lack support systems.
What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would advise young women entering my industry that success doesn’t come from doing more, but from being intentional and staying in alignment with what truly matters in their lives. It’s important to be clear about your values and ensure there is alignment between who you are today and who you are becoming. When your choices, goals, and actions are grounded in that alignment, you’re able to build a career that is not only successful, but also sustainable and personally fulfilling.
What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
There are so many opportunities for women to start their own business. They can build boldly, live fully, and lead with purpose. The challenge is most women try to do so many things and loose their focus on who they are and who they are becoming. The world tell us that we have to do more, be more but at what cost? The opportunity is women can build a business that supports their life, both personally and professionally. What women need is alignment with their purpose, priorities, processes, and their community. The opportunity is women do not have to build their businesses alone!
What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
I value connection, both personally and professionally. When I engage with people I want the connection to be meaningful by listening more and being that support they need. I value integrity. If I say I will do something, I will do it. I value communication. I want people I know, both personally and professionally, to know I am here to support them and make sure I stay in communication each step of the way. I value family and faith. I am grounded in my faith and make sure my family comes before my business.
