I have over 15 years of experience helping organizations capture and clarify their processes.

Previously, as a business process analyst, I worked with small to large organizations in a variety of industries.

I learned how to ask the right questions and document a process so everyone can understand it, follow it, and work together with less stress.

My consulting success stories include:

  • Capturing essential knowledge from several key employees, which led to reducing sales close time by 75% and eliminating the need to hire an additional team member.

  • Documenting sales processes to demonstrate existing vulnerability to fraud and closing the gaps.

  • Capturing and strengthening inventory management processes which reduced monthly count discrepancies and improved the accuracy of financial reports.

I love working with business owners, executives, directors, managers, and their teams, documenting and improving processes, to make everyone’s job easier.

When I’m not working, I’m usually out on the water or in the mountains. I sea kayak locally all year and love to explore the waters around Vancouver Island, the west coast of British Columbia, and SE Alaska.

I was fortunate to grow up in the Pacific Northwest and enjoy hiking and scrambling throughout the Cascades and Olympics.

Giving back is important to me. I share my passion for kayaking and hiking by teaching and leading trips for local outdoor clubs.

I also enjoy volunteering at a community garden which provides food to the local food bank, and at an animal sanctuary where I help cats and kittens learn to trust humans and become loving pets.
