While Building Your Business.
Howdy–I'm The Business Cowgirl
I build delivery systems for service‑based businesses so technology supports your people instead of stressing them out.
[ My Story ]
Over the last 9+ years, I’ve helped transform how 100+ service‑based businesses use technology,
typically giving teams 10+ hours back per week through better workflows, smarter automations, and cleaner communication paths.
I started as a Senior Salesforce Consultant, watching company after company bolt together tech stacks that quietly worked against their own people.
Tools were everywhere, but the work still felt hard. At the same time, I was competing internationally in three‑day eventing, where my hands were literally full with horses.
If my systems didn’t work while I was in the saddle, they didn’t work.
My “click” moment came during a $50 riding lesson. I got a notification that I’d just made my first $50 online course sale at the exact same time I was handing my trainer $50 in cash. Same hour, two completely different uses of my time. That’s when it really landed: good systems don’t just save time, they create options. They turn expertise into something that works even when you’re not staring at a screen.
Today, I act as a Director of Solutions Consulting & Delivery Systems for the companies I support. I design how work should move through a business – from intake to delivery to invoicing and support – and I mentor teams so they can operate calmly and effectively inside those systems.
My background as a Certified Salesforce Administrator and BS‑in‑Marketing grad means I think in both architecture and outcomes: the backend has to be solid, and it has to move the needle.
When I’m not mapping workflows, I’m usually on a horse, reminding myself what all this efficiency is actually for.
Named to the Marquis Who’s Who 2025 list, I share practical, no‑fluff strategies through my Winning Business newsletter (250+ subscribers) and YouTube channel, focused on one thing: building delivery systems that make life easier for your team and better for your clients.
What I do
I'm not just another tech consultant. I'm a Tech Detective who doesn't just fix symptoms - I find the source of the problem and fix it from there.

Six ways I help technical consulting firms
add capacity.
01
Delivery Ecosystem Architecture
Turn your firm into a delivery machine, not a collection of one‑off projects. We design how work should move through your business (from lead → scoping → delivery → invoicing → support) so every role knows what “done” looks like and nothing falls through the cracks.
02
Workflow & Notification Design
Give each consultant 5–10 billable hours back per week without losing control. We streamline and automate repetitive steps, then right‑size notifications so people see what matters and aren’t drowning in noise.
03
Practical AI for Delivery Teams
Use AI to reduce grunt work, not replace your experts. We plug AI into the unsexy parts of your firm (notes, documentation, summaries, QA, basic analysis) so projects move faster and your team stays focused on actual consulting.
04
Tool & Integration Strategy
Make your tools act like one system instead of five. We connect CRM, project management, billing, and support so data flows automatically, handoffs are clean, and no one is stuck being the “human API” between platforms.
05
Playbooks, Assets & Enablement
Turn your best work into reusable assets. We systemize templates, SOPs, decks, and internal playbooks so new consultants ramp faster, quality stays high, and you stop reinventing the wheel on every engagement.
06
Delivery Visibility & RevOps
Give leadership the visibility to scale with confidence. We clean up CRM structure, deal stages, and reporting so you can see true capacity, forecast accurately, and grow accounts based on data instead of gut feel and heroics.
