If you run an online business as a coach, educator, consultant, or agency founder, what would you do with a few extra hours each week?
What could you move forward if you did not have to chase team members, check every deadline, worry about your launch, or keep putting ideas aside because you are too busy managing the day-to-day?
A few hours could give you space to create, sell, serve your clients, think ahead, or simply step away without wondering what will fall apart.
That is where I can help.
I help growing online businesses turn scattered projects, teams, launches, funnels, and tech into clear systems that keep work moving.
You may already have a team, good offers, and plenty of ideas. But everything still comes back to you. You are answering questions, checking work, managing deadlines, making tech decisions, and trying to keep an eye on the bigger picture.
You do not need another person waiting for instructions.
You need someone who can understand the full picture, spot the gaps, organize the moving pieces, and make sure the right work gets done. And that's where I come in!
HOW I CAN HELP
OPERATIONS AND TEAM MANAGEMENT
You should not have to remind everyone what they need to do.
I can organize projects, assign ownership, manage deadlines, follow up with the team, improve accountability, and create clear workflows.
This helps your team work with less confusion and gives you fewer things to carry.
AGENCY OPERATIONS AND CLIENT DELIVERY
As your agency grows, client work can become harder to oversee.
I can help you create stronger delivery systems, improve project visibility, coordinate contractors, manage deadlines, and keep client communication organized.
Your team gets more clarity. Your clients get a more consistent experience. You spend less time stepping in to fix things.
LAUNCHES, FUNNELS, AND ONLINE PROGRAMS
A launch involves far more than the visible marketing.
There are pages, emails, automations, deadlines, content, tech, testing, and team responsibilities behind the scenes.
I can turn your idea into a clear launch plan, coordinate the moving pieces, and make sure everything is completed before it goes live.
This may include launches, courses, memberships, webinars, funnels, email sequences, landing pages, CRM workflows, client onboarding, and simple automations.
SYSTEMS, SOPS, AND WORKFLOWS
If your business depends on information that lives inside your head, it becomes difficult to delegate.
I can help you build SOPs, dashboards, project boards, onboarding systems, lead trackers, approval processes, and backend workflows.
The goal is not to make your business more complicated. It is to make it easier to run.
METRICS AND PROGRESS TRACKING
You should be able to see what is moving, what is stuck, and what needs your attention.
I can create simple dashboards and reports for projects, team performance, client delivery, funnels, content, leads, launches, and revenue.
This helps you make decisions without searching through tasks, spreadsheets, and messages.
Does this sound familiar?
• Too many things depend on you
• Your team needs clearer priorities and accountability
• Client projects are becoming harder to manage
• A launch, funnel, course, or website has been stuck
• You need someone who can think and execute
• You want long-term support from someone who genuinely cares
Clients often tell me they feel relieved when we work together.
They know someone is looking at the full picture. Someone is noticing the gaps. Someone is following through.
I work with ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, Kajabi, Kartra, GoHighLevel, ActiveCampaign, Mailchimp, Klaviyo, WordPress, Mighty Networks, Circle, Zapier, Make, HubSpot, Dubsado, GA4, Looker Studio, Google Workspace, Canva, Slack, Claude, ChatGPT and more.
You do not need to know exactly what kind of support you need before reaching out.
Tell me what feels the most chaotic, time-consuming, or stuck right now. We can look at what would give you the most valuable time back.

Running a startup means wearing every hat — operations, marketing, hiring, tech, follow-ups — until things start slipping through the cracks. That's where I come in.
I'm a Business Manager (Top Rated on Upwork, 9+ years) who helps startups and founders run the day-to-day across operations, marketing, and tech — so you can step back from the chaos and focus on growth.
I don't just complete tasks. I build the systems, coordinate the moving parts, and keep everything running.
⚙️ Operations & Systems
Day-to-day business operations and project management (Trello, Notion, ClickUp, Asana)
SOPs, process documentation, and workflow automation
Team coordination, delegation, and hiring/onboarding freelancers
KPI tracking and clear weekly reporting to you
📈 Marketing & Growth
Marketing campaign coordination and social media management
Lead generation, DM outreach, and appointment setting
Content coordination, Canva creatives, and brand consistency
Email/SMS campaigns and nurture sequences
🔧 Tech, CRM & Automation
GoHighLevel (GHL) & CRM setup, pipelines, and automations
Website & funnel support (WordPress, Elementor)
Tool integrations and no-code automation (Zapier)
Systems that connect your marketing, sales, and operations
If it keeps your business running behind the scenes, I can own it — or coordinate the person who does.
Why founders work with me: I think like a manager, not just an assistant. I spot inefficiencies before they become problems, I communicate clearly and proactively (you'll never have to chase me), and I focus on measurable outcomes — cleaner operations, better lead flow, and systems that scale as you grow.
Tools I work with: GoHighLevel, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, Asana, Airtable, Pipedrive, Google Workspace, WordPress, Elementor, Canva, Zapier, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn.
Fun fact: I'm also a national-level powerlifter — discipline, consistency, and steady execution are how I operate, and I bring that same reliability to every business I support.
If you're a founder drowning in operations, marketing, and tech tasks, send me a message about what's on your plate and I'll tell you exactly how I'd take it off.
