Over sixteen years, I've built and scaled Klazema Communications from a solo practice into a fully distributed content marketing agency, one that now runs independently through the systems, processes, and team I put in place. That entrepreneurial foundation gives me a genuine, hands-on understanding of what organizations need to operate well: not just good work, but the infrastructure and leadership to deliver it consistently at scale. Through Helm, my fractional Chief of Staff and operations consultancy, I currently support a General Partner at a venture fund, managing priorities, research, and stakeholder coordination at the executive level. I also lead operations for a digital marketing agency, where I rebuilt the entire project management infrastructure from the ground up: auditing what existed, resolving roughly 500 orphaned tasks, and building the standardized workflows, dashboards, and knowledge base that let a portfolio of 25 to 30 active clients run reliably. I move comfortably between strategy and execution. Whether I'm defining a client's content approach, designing a ClickUp workspace from scratch, or managing the day-to-day priorities of an executive, I bring the same instinct: build the structure that lets good work keep happening without me having to hold it all together by hand. My work has earned a 99% Job Success Score and $300K+ in Upwork earnings across content strategy, project management, operations, and executive support engagements. I bring the same reliability and attention to detail to every project, regardless of scope or industry.
