I believe entrepreneurship is empowerment. The impact of a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem is apparent at every level in our communities, nationally, regionally, locally, and in our households. And while everyone may not be ready to make the leap, everyone can benefit from a more entrepreneurial mindset.... and we simply need more.
I'm a proud Detroiter, entrepreneur, business development professional, public speaker, former investment advisor, and consummate grow giver. I have been working with professionals who are interested in transitioning into entrepreneurship, and entrepreneurs who are already established and wish to grow and scale their businesses for approximately two decades.
I help entrepreneurs adopt strategies and access resources that helps them secure more clients; learn what it takes to effectively launch and market their services and products, access business planning expertise, acquire financing; improve the efficiency of their enterprises (reduce expenses), and protect their legal interests.

If there’s one thing I’d love for you to know, above all else, is the digital space isn’t as scary as you think. When I’m not working with the best clients in the world on Digital Marketing Strategy, you can find me on a paddle board on our beautiful Michigan lakes or spending time on social media cheering on my fellow Mitten Entrepreneurs.
I have a knack for teaching complicated concepts in simplified formats that actually stick, which means that when it comes to your marketing I will always make sure that any strategy I give you is actually something you can realistically execute.
For the past 10 years I have worked exclusively with businesses that are determined and dedicated to working smarter, not harder. My best work is done with business owners who understand the value behind their business, know exactly who they want to target, but need a little help with a simplified digital marketing strategy that will keep the sales flowing and the profits rolling!
