My Story

I have made my career in supporting people and actualizing their personal and creative goals. For the past three years I worked as a coordinator at a crisis center for survivors of abuse; there I became an expert in emotional support and meeting clients where they’re at. One of the phrases I utilized in this work was: “What is your biggest concern right now?” I used this as a tool to communicate that there is always a path forward and support to help untangle what that means for each person and the steps to get there.

Supporting artists and small businesses is my passion because I have done it all my life. My skills in time management and organization developed from my big artistic family, where we were always creating something as I made lists to help make it possible. Several women in my family have started their own businesses, watching them courageously set out on that path inspired me to do it myself. Knowing every path is built on the supports we have and my business would be assisting women and creative people like my family and friends.

From my degree in Anthropology, continued work within arts organizations, and experience in scheduling and coordinating advocates to support people in crisis–I am a dynamic and compassionate person with a knack for providing solutions and getting things done for others.
