So,here's
the real deal
about me.
I've been in the business world for over 25 years, steering various ventures to success with turnovers of up to $3 million dollars. From the age of 27, I've been fully committed to making businesses not just run but thrive. After two decades of immersing myself in product-focused ventures, I decided to take it to the next level.
I launched my own business consultancy, with a clear mission: helping businesses and not for profits grow. My secret sauce? Strategic thinking and a solid commitment to seeing people not just survive but excel.
My track record confirms my creditability. Taking businesses from ground zero to six figures has been my specialty. How did I do it? Well, chalk it up to strategy, planning, consistency, resilience, adaptability, and a good old dose of stubborn determination.
I've got the scars and the stories to back it up.
And now, I'm all about sharing my insights and expertise.

Not for Profits
I've been deeply involved in Not for Profits, Chambers of Commerce, and Business Associations since 2002, putting my all into the communities I serve.
My expertise lies in transforming Not for Profits into community-focused powerhouses, using community development models to empower people and instill local pride.
I've supported numerous boards, serving actively and orchestrating harmonious dynamics with good governance as my guide. Whether you're a not for profit or a business, I understand that a steady income is crucial.
With years of experience in sales, sponsorships, grant writing, government funding, and philanthropy, I've got the know-how to help you succeed and thrive.
Experience Matters
For a good chunk of time, I have worked with local agencies, stakeholders, and councils, clocking over a decade in economic development, tourism, large scale events and community capacity building. I am not just about penning plans— I have been in the thick of it, tackling challenges, grabbing opportunities, making sure projects got the green light and were delivered on-time.
Collaborations with
remarkable minds.
