I’m not here to impress you with credentials or curated success stories. I don’t have an economics degree, a trust fund, or a team of people making life easier behind the scenes. I don’t have endless time, a stay-at-home partner, or a nanny on speed dial. What I do have is 20+ years of operational strategy forged under real pressure — from leading soldiers in uniform to navigating federal investigations and building airtight systems that keep businesses thriving.
It wasn’t a business coach or a perfect plan that changed my life — it was a moment of clarity after reading We Should All Be Millionaires. I realized no one was coming to save me, so I built my own way out. I started small, taking marketing courses at Cornell, freelancing to stay afloat. But the deeper I went, the clearer it became: most businesses didn’t just need more marketing — they needed operations that actually worked. So I pivoted, mastered the backend, and rebuilt my business from the inside out.
Now, as the founder of The Bread and Butter Company™, I help women-owned, service-based businesses do the same — streamline their systems, reclaim their time, and scale on their own terms. No more proving, pretending, or pushing past burnout. Just power, profit, and peace — built from the ground up.
I didn’t always have the clients, the services, the impact, or the freedom.
Nearly two decades ago, I was in a uniform, serving in the military, working long hours, drafting legal memos in windowless offices, and counting down the days until I could build a life on my own terms. I thought I was doing everything right — building stability, checking the boxes, playing it safe. But in reality, I was stuck in a system that was never built with me — or my life — in mind.
Fast forward to four years ago: I became a single mom of three boys, two of whom were diagnosed with autism in the middle of a global pandemic. I was holding down a "safe" government job, clocking in while daycare raised my babies and I fought to stay afloat under the weight of it all. And just when I thought I couldn’t take another hit — I was diagnosed with breast cancer. Chemo, childcare, doctor’s appointments, business calls. I was juggling survival while still showing up for everyone else. Because when you’re a woman like me, rest is a luxury — and giving up was never an option.
I have firsthand experience scaling from survival mode to 7 figures and a framework I built from scratch that now powers dozens of other businesses. And a deep knowing that the system wasn’t built for women like me — especially not women with kids, curves, chemo scars, or big dreams I built what I couldn’t find. I stopped waiting for permission. And built my own damn blueprint for a business that actually worked. One that didn’t collapse without me. One rooted in systems, structure, and sanity. I’m here to help you build something you can trust — something that earns while you rest, grows while you heal, and frees you to finally live on your terms.
I traded a full-ride scholarship for the military
(I know, I know). Over 20 years and three deployments to the Middle East, I mastered leading operations, under relentless pressure.
Becoming a mom reshaped my priorities. Active duty demanded everything—early mornings, late nights, and constant sacrifice—while toxic leadership drained the little balance I had left. I was determined to create stability for my son, but I knew the path I was on wasn’t sustainable.
After leaving active duty, I was unemployed—bartending at night, taking online classes by day, and raising my son as a single mother. I eventually secured my first federal civilian job and moved to Virginia, That experience cemented my determination to create stability on my own terms.
After working in military defense in the D.C. area, I was at a crossroads—loving my job but unable to keep up with the cost of living. When the opportunity for a promotion came, I took a leap of faith and moved for a government position focused on contract and acquisition fraud. At the same time, I joined the Army Reserves. Balancing both roles expanded my operations and leadership skills while supporting complex legal cases.
I was thriving personally and professionally—until life shifted fast. Within two years, I had back-to-back children. By early 2020, as my maternity leave was ending, I was already battling postpartum depression and the weight of being a mom to three kids. I dreaded returning to work, unsure how I could hold it all together. Then COVID hit—stacking even more uncertainty on top of an already fragile time.
As the world reopened, I realized I’d been living in functional burnout long before the pandemic. Stability now meant freedom—earning more on my terms while putting family first. I began freelancing for women-owned businesses, gaining four years of hands-on experience in sales, community management, content marketing, and affiliate engagement—learning what truly drives sustainable growth.
After becoming a single mother again and adjusting to daycare and formal school, life shifted once more—my youngest two children were diagnosed with autism, each on opposite ends of the spectrum. I knew I needed more balance. I stepped into a role as operations manager for an online agency, and everything clicked. By merging my military background with online business experience, I launched The Bread and Butter Company™.
I built this company because I was tired of watching powerful women build empires on broken foundations.
Women who were brilliant — but buried.
Respected — but running on fumes.
Successful — but secretly holding their business together with duct tape and desperation.
I know that woman, because I was her. Women like us don’t have time for chaos, confusion, or cookie-cutter advice. We’re the ones holding it all together — the business, the family, the legacy. But somewhere between serving clients and surviving the daily grind, the systems that were supposed to support us stopped working.
I know what it feels like to rebuild from scratch — to juggle motherhood, military service, and entrepreneurship while everyone around you says, “Just delegate,” like it’s that simple. I learned the hard way that chaos costs — in time, in peace, and in potential. So I made a promise: that no woman building a legacy for her family would ever have to do it alone again. That promise became a movement and a model for what happens when women stop operating in survival mode and start running their businesses like the CEOs they actually are.
