Some people learn business in a classroom. I did too, but my real experience was built in boardrooms, green rooms, nonprofit galas, corporate retail floors, and late nights staring at a laptop trying to figure out why my funnel wasn't converting.

Before YouTube existed, I produced a DVD program because I believed in the power of education as a distribution strategy before anyone had a name for it. I've served on branding committees for major nonprofits, worked alongside Sony Pictures on a national literacy campaign, navigated corporate retail, built relationships in public relations, and sold $50,000 seminar packages at national conventions.

I've secured millions of dollars in funding for medical training programs and built every business I've ever run through workshops, partnerships, and corporate sponsorships . Education and relationships has fueled my success. Every time.

I didn't just study organizational behavior, I lived it. I've sat inside corporations watching talented people burn out under systems that were never designed to help them win. I've watched entrepreneurs recreate the same golden handcuffs they thought they left behind, just with a different title on the door. I've been both of those people.

Then came the digital age.

I spent years and tens of thousands of dollars learning what works — building funnels, mastering automation, studying the systems behind the businesses that scale. I put in the leg work so you don't have to.

Today, Uprooted Academy is the intersection of everything I've built, survived, and mastered.

We are a full-service education and marketing agency that helps organizations, nonprofits, entrepreneurs and sales professionals build real business infrastructure — done-for-you systems, automated pipelines, funded programs, and the kind of education-driven marketing that creates revenue without requiring you to be "on" all the time.

We build on what you're already doing well, so you can increase your profits, not your effort.

I have a Master's in Organizational Development and a PhD from the school of hard knocks. I know what it takes to build systems and campaigns that drive revenue and build efficient teams.

And I'm here to help you do the same. 🌿
