Hi Y'all! I'm a small business owner and small business development counselor helping rural entrepreneurs start/grow/save their businesses. I'm excited to add Budget Counseling to my tool box to support my micro-enterprises (Mom and Pops!) On a personal note, I'm a TraFooWinKie! What?!! Travel, Food, Wine Junkie!

Why Work with Me

Empathetic, friendly, authentic...are a few words that have been used in feedback about my business development consultations. As an action-oriented entrepreneur, I enjoy YNAB as a budgeting tool that helps me create strategic plans for moving businesses forward. I enjoy sharing this tool with startups or entrepreneurs bootstrapping their businesses OR working with limited resources.

Why I Coach

Two words....Economic empowerment! I am compelled to train entrepreneurs with the money management skills necessary to empower them to positively impact their financial future and ensure their businesses are sustainable so they can support our community's economic prosperity!
