About Me
I am a people and talent operator who helps founders build companies the right way. I spent nearly a decade at GoFundMe, joining as employee 50 and helping scale the organization to more than 900 people globally. That experience taught me how early decisions around hiring, structure, and leadership either compound success or quietly create risk. I learned what works, what breaks, and how costly it is to get people decisions wrong.
I left corporate knowing I was best suited to partner with early-stage and founder-led businesses. Entrepreneurship is both terrifying and rewarding, and founders are rarely trained to hire well at the moment it matters most. They outgrow their networks, want to stop hiring friends, and fear bringing the wrong people into the business they have poured everything into. That fear is justified. Hiring is harder than it looks, and that is where I come in.
My perspective is shaped by resilience as much as experience. Graduating into the 2008 financial crisis taught me how to adapt quickly when the path is unclear. Beating cancer in my 30s taught me focus, clarity, and what truly matters. That same mindset shows up in how I advise founders today. Clear priorities, strong teams, and decisions built to last.
Today, I partner with first-time and early-stage founders as a trusted operating partner. I advise at the strategic level and step in to execute the work that turns early traction into a scalable, healthy company. Over the past year, I have supported nine founder-led businesses across multiple industries, helping them build teams they can trust and systems that support growth.
I am originally from the East Coast and now live in San Diego with my husband, Ian, and our rescue dog, Captain.
