About Me
I partner with business owners and non-profit institutions to turn chaotic financial data into clear, actionable insight so that leaders know how to maximize their organization's success.
I've spent my career coaching small business owners on starting and growing their businesses, accessing capital, improving personal credit, and making sense of numbers. I've designed new loan products, created social impact surveys, and built high-performing loan funds from scratch. I've worked as a loan officer, underwriter, financial analyst, and consultant.
I excel at seeing how details form the big picture, setting and meeting milestones, and communicating results. I earned a Master of Science in Business Analytics from the University of Notre Dame, where my studies were focused on communicating data-driven insight using analytical design, statistical techniques, data mining, and data visualization.
My passion is helping organizations do what they do—better. What's yours?
Business Owners
You probably started your business so that you could spend more time doing what you love–so did I! I love seeing entrepreneurs succeed. I work with business owners to take the stress out of bookkeeping, business planning, and accessing capital so you can spend your time doing meaningful work that leverages your skills and ignites your passions.
CDFIs + SBA Lenders
The institutional clients I work with benefit from holistic underwriting and dynamic consulting. With years of practitioner experience, I enable your mission-based organization to spur the local small business economy while maintaining a safe, high-performing portfolio.
Business Advisory Firms
Many of my clients are economic development consultants themselves. My subcontracting services increase capacity for advisory firms and consultancies. You'll find that my diverse experience and straightforward approach improve efficiency in a number of areas, including financial analysis, proposal writing, data visualization, and dashboarding.
