Prior to joining Transworld, I enjoyed a 14-year career in banking, commercial real estate, and SBA lending. I've worked with businesses both big and small, gaining an understanding of their unique challenges and needs. This experience has been invaluable in helping my buyers and sellers get the best possible terms for their deal! Thinking about selling your business? Let's chat!

I am a seasoned professional with a rich background in business ownership and brokerage. As a proud mother of two children and the owner of a beloved Yorkie, I know the importance of balancing my personal life and being able to extend a deep commitment to my clients. As a former business owner, I built and grew my company and strategically sold my business using a broker. In doing so, it fueled my passion for helping small business owners reach their next destination ethically and confidentially. I am passionate about helping, guiding, and offering quality and personable service all the time. I look forward to working with you!

For more than three decades, I dedicated myself to executive leadership within the building material, construction, and manufacturing sectors. Concurrently, since 2008, I've operated as an independent consultant, aiding diverse small businesses in enhancing profitability, increasing business valuation, and readiness for sale. Transitioning into business brokerage, I acquired my Arizona license in early 2023. Now, I assist small enterprises in boosting their worth, offering valuation insights, and helping owners to market their business for sale, find a buyer, arrange a deal, and bring the transaction to a succesful sale.

As a Business Broker at Transworld Business Advisors, I specialize in helping entrepreneurs buy, sell, and grow businesses. Leveraging my experience in consulting, data analytics, and small business M&A, I guide clients through each step of the exit process, ensuring smooth transactions and maximizing business value. Before joining Transworld, I built a business from the ground up, growing it to over 65 employees. This journey gave me firsthand insight into the dedication, commitment, and hard work required to succeed as a business owner. Exiting the company was equally rewarding, as it provided me with valuable experience in the M&A process—covering business valuation, operational optimization, and deal structuring—sharpening my skills in scaling and growing businesses. These experiences naturally led me to pursue a career in business brokering, where I can help other entrepreneurs navigate the complexities of buying and selling businesses using the insights I've gained from my own successful exit and background in consulting. Whether you're looking to acquire a business or plan your exit strategy, my focus is on delivering personalized, data-driven insights and support.

My diverse background in business, leadership and marketing allows me to look at things from a unique perspective. I have a passion for helping people and a desire to help business owners achieve their transitions to a better retirement or new entrepreneurs with their own dreams of business ownership. Providing excellent communications, hands on accessibility, and immediate direct follow up is what sets me apart.
