A Bit About Me

Change can create growth. I help small companies and non-profits identify barriers to increased profits and services. Together, we develop a strategic solution to shatter those barriers and lay a foundation for success. Not only do you get a plan, but we work together to implement it.

I received an MBA from the University of South Dakota and have over 20 years of experience in operations and business management.
