“She didn’t realize how much I did seamlessly until she had to replace me.”

On the prep side of the curtain.

I've built founders' back-offices, managed operations for Change the Equation (a White House initiative under the Obama administration) working alongside a board of Fortune 500 CEOs on STEM education access, and executed programs and events of up to 3,000 people across five continents. I also run my own operations on AI workflows every day. My whole career has been the same job: make the work that keeps everything running invisible,  so the people I work with don't have to carry it. These days I do that work for agency owners, and write about it at Mise en Place.
