I'm a heart and people centered business savvy human and professional.

I've been you. I am you. I grew businesses from the ground up ranging from the male dominated fields of general contracting and manufacturing to consulting and beyond. I've been your team. I am your team. I've worked for and with many groups of people, including being a current board member and secretary of Charleston Hope. and what I know is (or to quote another great singer and writer Alicia Beth Moore/Pink "All I know so far") people are at the center of all of it and when we embrace that and prioritize that and them first everything else tends to fall into place in a healthy and dynamic way be that in or out of business.

From starting and running businesses and being a part of various organizations and teams for three plus decades, I've gained valuable experiences and knowledge that've led me to becoming, if I don't say so myself, pretty darn business savvy, with what you might say is a "beachside" barefoot approach, don't worry I do own, wear, and encourage wearing shoes where and when needed.

When I'm not dancing, walking on the beach, or hanging out with or dancing with the people I love and enjoy I'm often writing poetry. Take a "walk" on over to "Simple" Lady Poetry if you'd like to read some more of my poems.

“All that I want for you is to be satisfied” ~Lynryd Skynyrd

I've found that when freedom, flexibility, and genuine connection flow together, they create vibrant and thriving relationships and environments. Then add some music, fun and silliness, along with thoughtful reflection that fosters growth ~ well, that's magic ~ but that's just me and my two or three cents!

If you’re ready to partner with someone with tons of hands-on, in-the-trenches experience, who’s a seeker of knowledge (including in my current passion of latin dance), and outside guidance and one who is naturally intuitive, a total-picture thinker, and passionate about her work…I’m your solutions “Lady!”
