As a Strategic Accounting & Finance Consultant and Artist Empowerment Guide, I help businesses and artistpreneurs build scalable financial ecosystems using the right business and finance tools.
My 20+ years of experience bridges two worlds: On one side, I bring hands-on finance and accounting expertise—delivering accurate, timely results in financial reporting, analysis, and operational continuity across sectors ranging from Fortune 500s and e-commerce to nonprofit.
On the other, I’m the creator of Empower Art: Time & Money—a mission-driven platform that helps creatives align their finances with their purpose. I support artistpreneurs in turning chaos into clarity, scarcity into strategy, and ideas into measurable growth.
This dual lens—finance + creative strategy—enables me to support professionals and organizations that value both structure and vision.
