A Brief Background
I have a BA in literature and an MS in information technology, an admittedly unusual pair of credentials that set me up to communicate the value of technical, often abstract services and solutions. And for 20-plus years, that’s just what I’ve done. I have tenure in public accounting, management consulting, IT services, enterprise software and systems integration firms. You can learn more of my story here.
I’m based in the Washington, DC area and serve clients across the US. If you’d like to connect, shoot me an email via my contact page.
