Leadership

I’ve always been passionate about problem-solving and helping businesses operate more efficiently. With a background in bookkeeping, program management, and financial analysis, I’ve spent over two decades refining the skills that bring clarity and structure to business operations.

But over time, I realized that what I wanted wasn’t just to solve problems—I wanted to solve the right problems, for people I genuinely care about, in a way that felt aligned with who I am and what I believe.

That’s why I created Align & Thrive LLC—not just a business name, but a guiding principle for this chapter of my life. After years in corporate, I stepped away not out of frustration, but with a clear vision: I wanted my work to reflect my values. Purpose, connection, and community are now at the heart of everything I do.

Beyond Aligned Books is part of that vision. It exists to support small business owners who are doing incredible work—often without the tools, clarity, or support they need to feel confident. I bring my experience to the table, but more importantly, I bring my belief in people. I help my clients organize their financial world, simplify their systems, and make informed decisions—not just to survive, but to thrive.

And this work is just one part of a broader ecosystem. Through my writing on Align & Thrive Substack, I explore personal growth, entrepreneurship, and the messy, beautiful process of building a life on your own terms. With Healthy Experiments, I share my journey toward sustainable well-being, inviting others to explore what nourishes them—physically, emotionally, and creatively.

Everything I do centers around one goal: building meaningful community—for myself and for others. Whether it’s streamlining a business, hosting a discussion, or publishing a recipe, it all stems from the same belief: when we align with what matters, we thrive.
