More about me outside of “work”

I’m extremely passionate about self-development and growth in all ways - physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I devote a lot of time to studying topics related to mindfulness, metaphysics, energy healing, and alternative medicine. I’ve started to build a side hustle as a professional energy healing and meditation practitioner which you can learn more about here.

In addition to this passion, I am a devoted cat mom, art and music lover, and I enjoy spending my free time with hobbies like Qi Gong, Pilates, or walking the greenbelt in Austin.

My Approach

My success with clients comes from a simple thing: the ability to always figure it out.

It’s not that I know the “right answer” every time; but I do know how to ask the right questions, and learn things rapidly from there. I’m thorough, curious and adaptable to change. When I don’t know something, I’m humble enough to ask someone who might. I Google.

A quality I used to write off as simple, I’ve realized over time, is in fact my superpower in business. My ability to ask questions and learn is the quality that took me from a successful track record in software sales, to making a career pivot to run growth strategy for a startup software company. It’s what gave me the stamina to take my passion full time.

For every project I’ve taken on, the goal and products are different. The needs are different. I work with the constraints I’m given, and push like crazy to make things move as quickly as possible. Sometimes that looks like hacking out landing pages and Google ad campaigns, other times it’s playing product manager on complex integration projects with engineers. I’m not limited to one platform - I look at what the goal of the project is, and I figure it out. The thing that matters is the product, and the results, and not the way that you get there.
