Helping organizations build resilient teams and people-first cultures.

About Me

I'm passionate about building healthy, thriving organizations where people and business goals align. With experience spanning operations, HR, and organizational strategy, I bring a balance of big-picture vision and practical, hands-on execution.


I focus on creating clarity in complex environments — whether that's streamlining processes, cultivating a strong culture, or guiding leaders through change. Through M7 Fractional, I give small businesses access to the same caliber of HR expertise as large enterprises, delivered with flexibility, integrity, and personal connection.


My work is grounded in the values I live by at my Milliron 7 Homestead in northern Colorado: hard work, honesty, and doing right by your people.
