About

“I didn’t know that could be done on the Internet.”

That’s what I first heard years ago when people discovered the services I was offering. The Internet was much younger back then and very few people were selling anything online, let alone custom fabricating!  I usually shrugged and said something like, “Well, it never occurred to me that I couldn’t, so I just taught myself HTML, built a website, and did it.”  I quickly became very comfortable interacting with clients over the internet.

In 2010, I shifted to another online career in the market research industry. I was soon leading virtual teams, and I worked my way up from editor to a senior management position that constantly gave me opportunities to innovate. I’ve learned how to grow, engage, lead, and motivate teams of workers who have never met each other in person. I’ve developed training methods, organizational systems, and processes to double and sometimes quadruple the efficiency of projects. I’m humbled to have earned the praise of clients, coworkers, and those I managed. 

Along the way, I got certified in Excel Advanced (and fell in love with pivot tables and nested formulas), finished my bachelor’s in Business Management, learned how to create complex systems with Google Sheets, and grew adept at quickly analyzing how hundreds (and sometimes thousands) of details needed to fit together in order to achieve the client’s goals.

I now work primarily with small businesses and startups, writing training manuals, creating data management solutions, and solving whatever organizational problems are at hand.  Startups need people who can think outside the box and help them do what’s never been done before. Often there are no SaaS/App/Dapp tools available that fit their needs, so they have to be more creative with Excel, Google Sheets, or software platforms that are a less-than-perfect fit.  Small businesses need someone with business management experience who can tackle their primary challenge in a way that considers every other small business need that they have. I’m honored to also be a part of Dfinity and the Internet Computer as they develop Web 3.0 with blockchain technology, which is breaking new ground in more ways than we can count!

Those are the challenges I love! 

I’m a problem-solver at heart, always looking for the next process that can be made more efficient, the next challenge that needs a solution, and the next creative idea that will make an employee/ manager/ business owner’s job easier (and the client’s results better at the same time).  

What can I help you with?
