How I got here

I'm the oldest daughter, which means I've been the person everyone brings their problems to for as long as I can remember. Figuring things out is how I'm wired.

I took my first Python class with my best friend, who had ten years in tech and still asked me for help with the homework. She told me I had a knack for it, so I kept going: Ruby, JavaScript, HTML and CSS, then junior design work for her web design business, then a full-stack bootcamp.

Right after the bootcamp, a security company recruited me to test their web applications for vulnerabilities. Their lead tester only had network experience, so I learned web app testing over a weekend and delivered the report. That led to security analyst work, months of full-stack development when the team needed coders, and then five years running the company's SOC 2 program and access management.

Along the way I learned what I'm best at: understanding how a business actually works, then designing the systems and workflows that make it run better and safer.

Why small businesses

Small business owners are people doing their best with what they have, who want to live on their own terms. Big companies get expert help and often waste it. Small businesses usually get a pile of subscriptions and no one to make them work together.

I want every client to finish working with me feeling seen, heard and confident that their business is finally on track, with a plan that keeps adjusting as they grow.

What I believe

• Honesty first. I'll never sell you something you don't need.
• You should own your tools. Your code, your accounts, your data.
• Security isn't an add-on. It's part of building things properly.
• Work should leave room for life. For you and for me. Good systems give people their time back.
