How I got here
I started at a small manufacturer in 2015 as its HR and finance assistant, and kept the job while I finished my degree at Flagler College. At a company that size, whoever finds a problem usually ends up fixing it. My work spread from the books and payroll into inventory, the online storefronts, and shipping.
By 2021 I was Director of HR & Finance there, and in 2024 I led the company’s move from Virginia Beach to Tennessee. Since 2025 I’ve worked with a four-company auto glass, calibration, and coinage group, where a tax-data cleanup grew into rebuilding the books and building the software the office runs on.
That mix is why I work across all three lanes. Most small businesses don’t have a separate person for HR, accounting, and operations, and their problems rarely stay in one of them anyway.
