I help busy founders and growing teams turn scattered priorities into clear, organized execution. I step in when projects are slipping, follow-ups are getting missed, or the business needs stronger systems, ownership, and accountability. My work spans operations, project management, executive support, AI workflows, CRM/RevOps, and marketing project coordination. I’ve managed multiple client accounts, supported executive leadership, coordinated cross-functional teams, built operational systems, and managed projects from idea through delivery. My strength is not just completing tasks. It’s figuring out what needs to happen, creating the system around it, and keeping work moving without constant oversight. Whether you need someone to organize operations, manage projects, support leadership, improve workflows, or help implement AI into day-to-day processes, I can step in and create structure. Please reach out for full list of packages & rates.
