What I'm looking for

I'm looking to serve as an executive right hand or operations leader, turning priorities and ambiguity into practical systems, clear ownership, and sustained execution.

I've spent 11+ years turning leadership priorities, ambiguity, and operational problems into action. I build systems, create structure, and take ownership of the work that needs to move forward.

At Sandy Morris Financial & Estate Planning Services, I stepped into an operational crisis, rebuilt critical systems, documented workflows, reduced unnecessary spending, and led a transition to HubSpot. I also supported hiring, special projects, executive logistics, vendor issues, and day-to-day business operations.

At Northwestern Mutual NYC, I served as the operational backbone for a growing advisory practice, helping scale the team from three to eight people. I built onboarding, CRM, task-management, calendar, and account-opening systems that gave leadership more capacity for business development and client relationships.

Earlier at Northwestern Mutual Tampa, I grew from financial assistant into a trusted second-in-command, supporting a $30M+ increase in assets under management and building core operating processes across client service, investments, hiring, marketing, and team development.
