Open for work
I take ownership of the moving parts, projects, timelines, tools, people and processes, so you can stay focused on growth. Ten-plus years running projects for federal research institutions, universities, corporations, startups and nonprofits, mostly through Upwork.
Planning, tracking, delegation and reporting across teams of any size, from a single executive to a full department.
I have worked in almost every major platform. Whatever your stack is, I already know it or will master it fast.
Lead tracking, funnels and workflow automation that remove the manual steps between a lead arriving and a deal closing.
Calendar, inbox, expense reporting, research, hiring support and customer service, handled so you never think about them.
Zoom webinars for 200+ attendees, livestream production and the video and design work that goes with them.
Websites, tools and iPhone apps built by directing Claude and Grok from a clear brief, plus content and updates on WordPress, Wix and Shopify.
