ABOUT ME
I am an entrepreneurial-minded small business support consultant known for my hands-on style and dedication to helping clients streamline and simplify their businesses. Over the years, I have assisted numerous entrepreneurs in achieving success, and witnessing their businesses blossom brings me immense pride and a sense of accomplishment.
My approach to consulting goes beyond offering advice. I believe in taking action and getting involved in the process. Not only do I provide strategic guidance to business owners, but I also roll up my sleeves and work side-by-side with them to improve and maintain administrative, financial, and marketing structures and workflows. This hands-on approach ensures that my clients receive practical solutions and see tangible results.
Before embarking on my journey as a small business support consultant, I enjoyed a successful career in the publishing and commercial art industries. Those experiences equipped me with valuable insights and a deep understanding of the challenges faced by businesses in today's competitive landscape.
Born and raised in Germany, I pursued my education in the United States. Eventually, I became a proud citizen in 2001, cementing my commitment to this country and its entrepreneurial spirit. Currently, I reside in Los Angeles with my beloved dog Pluto, who shares my passion for hiking and outdoor adventures.
In addition to my professional endeavors, I find joy in engaging in diverse volunteer work. I actively contribute to organizations such as the West Hollywood Library and Born-Free-USA, as I believe in giving back to the community and supporting causes that align with my values.
