“Your culture is your brand”

I am an area developer and owner of Face Foundrié in the Southwest Florida market, with one location open in downtown Naples and a second location soon-to-open in Estero. Face Foundrié is a focused facial bar specializing in efficient and effective skincare services that are inclusive, affordable and approachable. We aim to help people feel great about themselves – because when you feel good in your skin, you do good!

I am an education technology industry veteran, motivated to lead in this sphere with a passion for supporting teaching and learning as vital to our schools, our communities, our economy and our democracy. 

I joined FastBridge Learning as CEO upon its rollout from the University of Minnesota’s technology commercialization program and scaled the company through its phenomenal growth from 2015-2019. The company was ranked as the No. 2 fastest-growing private company in the Twin Cities in 2018 by the Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal, and a 2019 Top Workplace by the StarTribune. I led the company through a successful exit and sale to Illuminate Education and remained on board as President through 2020 to lead a thriving integration and GTM strategy.

I was one of three founders of Brain Hive, LLC, which launched in June 2012 as a division of Lerner Universal Corporation. As President, I was responsible for business, product and market strategy. Brain Hive is an innovative provider of on-demand K-12 classroom resources, offering a custom, flexible solution to support blended learning. ​
