Im a southern lady educated in business finance & risk management; with high drive, high energy, adaptability and extremely analytical! I have experience in industries across the board from hospitality and restaurant/bar industries, to legal/justice industries, to warehousing/logistics & trucking, and thats just a few. I love consulting and understanding what drives businesses in all industries.

I have the ability to see things others don't and to solve complex problems using new ideas and pathways. I have a love for learning & mastering new and challenging things constantly. And i always welcome new adventures and the challenges that go along with them, because thats the only way we can grow and become better than we already are!

I started out in the bar & restaurant industry and fell in love with the fast paced, people pleasing experiences and connections with everyone. I have over 20 years in experience ranging from hotel restaurants to privately owned and operated restaurants as well as corporate ones. I have a Bachelors in Business Administration with a concentration in Business Finance.

I have experience in warehousing, logistics, auto dealers, commercial construction, residential & commercial rental operations/ management, civil law, mechanic businesses, operations, business consulting, IT Business Analysis, accounting and books, change managment and project management. I've had years of proven results in every industry I've been in and hope to know and understand many more industries in this lifetime. The last several years i owned a hot shot trucking company and hauled freight all over the lower 48 states and handled all my own dispatching, billing, front office and back office, brokered my own deals and managed 3 drivers and all their dispatching and business.

During the same time I have also been Operations Director for a parent corporation that has 5 seperate and independant business under its reigns. It is never dull, always busy, and I enjoy the challenges it brings. As the person that owns these businesses is nearing 87 years old and getting ready to retire the businesses have slowed to nearing a hault and I am starting to look for my next challenge.

Graduated Magna Cum Laude from University of Memphis in 2010 with a B.B.A. in Business Finance with a minor in Risk Management & Insurance.
