Strategic Business & Marketing Guidance
for Independent Professionals
Thoughtful strategy and practical guidance for service-based and expert-led businesses.
I work with independent professionals and service-based business owners who want clarity around how they run and grow their businesses. My approach is structured and practical, helping clients make thoughtful decisions about positioning, marketing direction, and systems without overcomplicating their work or burning themselves out.
With 25 years of experience in program management, business strategy, marketing, and education, I bring a steady, outside perspective that helps clients prioritize what matters, decide what to do next, and follow through with confidence.
I work with independent service professionals who need to understand positioning, marketing choices, and strategy.
