As an Executive Assistant climbing the corporate ranks, I discovered that traditional success often came with an expiration date for my well-being. Even after securing the coveted Office Manager role at a prominent real estate investment firm — where I orchestrated the seamless relocation of a 2,000-square-foot office to a 7,000-square-foot suite on the 54th floor of the tallest building west of the Mississippi — I found myself drained, undervalued, and boxed in.
​
Enough was enough.
​
What followed was a bold transition. I earned my Associate’s and Bachelor’s degrees in Business Administration and took the self-taught route into project management, learning by doing, adapting, and outlasting. From there, I launched my consulting business — and I haven’t looked back.
The early days weren’t glamorous. I navigated workplace injustice, wrongful termination, and battled through legal disputes. But I stood tall and prevailed. That season lit a fire in me — to create a space where I could serve others while preserving my spirit, creativity, and purpose.
Since then, I’ve:
Migrated entire CRMs and trained teams across Salesforce, Pipedrive, and Left Main.
Implemented business systems to streamline operations for tech founders, therapists, and real estate developers alike.
Managed cross-functional teams and launched web redesigns, product workflows, and internal systems — on time and within scope.
Created elegant SOPs for companies navigating chaos, turning confusion into clarity.
But that’s just the left-brain side.
I'm also the creative behind The Rize Channel — a platform for empowerment, culture, and truth-telling.
I speak on economic empowerment, wellness, youth inspiration, social justice, and legacy-building.
And when I’m not consulting or producing content, you’ll find me dancing in the kitchen, watching old classic movies, or designing cultural streetwear that speaks power to the soul.
​
If you're here, you're likely ready to “rize“— in business, in clarity, in purpose. Whether you’re a budding VA, a seasoned entrepreneur, or someone looking to get unstuck, welcome.
​
We’re not just working — we’re building something real. And I’d be honored to build it with you.
​
Let’s rize together.​
