Experience built at every level of the business.

I started as an entry-level hire and grew into the role of Chief Operating Officer. That path shaped how I look at companies, people, and change.

I understand the view from the floor and the view from leadership.

I have been responsible for getting the work done, managing people and projects, connecting departments, reviewing performance, and making decisions that affect the entire company.

My background crosses corporate and small-business environments. It includes low-voltage work, operations, project management, marketing, financial review, customer support, video production, employee training, restaurant operations, food-safety systems, and HACCP approval work.

Working across different industries has shown me that business problems rarely stay inside one department. A staffing decision can affect service. Marketing can create operational pressure. Technology can save time but create distance between people. Growth can expose financial and management weaknesses that were easier to overlook when the company was smaller.

DA Works Consulting brings those experiences together. I help leaders understand what is happening across the business and build practical improvements that their people can use.
