Professional background
I’ve worked in professional and educational settings for over 10 years, executing data-informed marketing strategies, building digital business solutions, and transforming workflows into effective, optimized success stories.
I can provide clients with access to industry-informed best practices while teaching them how to implement these on their own. My goal is to ensure you learn what you need to run your business independent of us—we just want to help you get there!
I started Foundry 27 because I kept seeing small businesses with incredible ideas struggle to grow—not because their products weren’t good, but because the “business side” felt overwhelming. My mission is simple: take the stress out of running a business so owners can focus on what they love. With a background in business administration, analytics, and marketing, I translate complicated processes into simple, actionable steps that actually move the needle.
