ABOUT ME
I grew up watching my dad run his business. I was the kid in the corner of every meeting, studying how decisions got made, how teams were led, how a culture was built — or broken. I didn't know it then, but I was taking notes I'd spend the rest of my career using.
I studied Communications at CU Boulder, earned my law degree from DePaul, and completed executive leadership programs at Harvard. Today I'm the CEO of Bravo Store Systems, a family tech company I joined as an intern and never left.
I'm also a wife, a mom to Wade, Mack, and one on the way, and someone who has had to earn every room I've walked into. That part doesn't make the LinkedIn bio. But it shapes everything.
Why this site exists.
I've spent years building teams, setting goals, missing goals, resetting goals, and figuring out what actually works versus what just sounds good in a book.
This site is where I share all of it — the frameworks, the habits, the hard lessons, and the tools I come back to again and again. Not because I have it all figured out, but because I'm still in it every single day and I know how much it helps to have someone who's a few steps ahead sharing the map.
My mission is simple: to give you the practical tools and honest perspective to do the daily work that great leadership requires. No shortcuts. No fluff. Just the reps.
What keeps me going.
Fresh Air Fitness
Most of my best thinking happens outside. Skiing, hiking, pickleball, and golf are where I decompress, reset, and remember that the grind needs a counterbalance.
Amateur Interior Design
I approach a home project the same way I approach a business problem, with a clear vision, a lot of patience, and a few decisions I'll probably redo. Current aesthetic: cozy, woodsy, warm.
Organization Hacks
I have been obsessed with day planners since childhood. Back-to-school season was my Super Bowl. Give me a blank notebook, a good system, and a strong cup of coffee and I am genuinely happy.
