What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can partner with executives to design operational systems, improve governance, and scale organizations while preserving executive bandwidth.

I am a Strategic Executive Partner and Fractional Chief of Staff with 15 years of experience partnering with C-suite leaders to build efficient systems, manage operations, and execute vision with precision.

I design and implement digital infrastructures and SOPs using tools like Google Workspace, Asana, Airtable, and HoneyBook to streamline workflows, reclaim executive time, and maintain operational profitability.

My background spans nonprofit, corporate, and legal environments where I have led data migrations, governance meetings, P&L oversight, large-scale reporting, and training initiatives to improve compliance, decision-making, and organizational scalability.
