Take a breath. Let’s find the way through.

Operations can be a daunting place. You’re doing work that matters, but the system around you has started to feel like a weight.  I’m an operational strategist for leaders who are ready to remove the barriers and get back to the mission.

Operations as an act of care

I believe that operations is an act of care.

Most leaders I meet aren’t tired of their mission; they are tired of the friction. Whether navigating the high stakes of a Non-profit, an SMB, or a scaling Startup, they are often fighting the quiet drain of clunky tools and redundant processes that no longer fit their reach.

As a systems thinker, I don’t just optimize for the sake of efficiency; I heal ecosystems. Drawing on almost 20 years of experience, ranging from the high-pressure hustle of city systems to the grounded reality of rural Pennsylvania, I identify the interdependencies and root causes that slow an organization down. I take the chaotic energy of a growing team and channel it into a cohesive and resilient operational framework.

I act as a bridge between diverse stakeholders, possessing a unique ability to translate complex and technical ideas into actionable, human-centric realities. I ensure that every system we build respects the unique culture of the team while providing the structure needed to scale.

When we fix the system, we aren't just streamlining. We are giving people their time, their agency, and their breath back.

Why I do this:

My approach is People-First. I believe that when we fix the system, we aren't just streamlining workflows. We are:

  • Returning Agency: Giving your team the tools to own their work.

  • Saving Time: Eliminating the "busy work" that leads to burnout.

  • Restoring Breath: Creating the space leaders need to focus on their mission again.

I design systems that respect your unique culture while providing the structure needed to scale.

Let’s build a system that supports your reach.
