“Operator and fractional COO who thrives as an early-stage builder: she joined a coaching company as its first full-time hire, built the full operational backbone, and helped scale it from $20K monthly revenue to seven-figure annual revenue for three straight years. Her background blends hands-on startup execution across HR, finance, fulfillment, and systems with prior experience supporting technical product builds in healthcare and a Silicon Valley agency working in metaverse, AR, and gaming.”
