As a Manager of Community Development at Side, I partner with high-performing agents to launch and grow their own boutique brands, without the time, cost, or risk of operating a brokerage. I leverage my strategic partnerships, hospitality, and CRM skills to deliver exceptional service and support to our agent partners and their clients. I have over 15 years of experience in the internet industry, working for leading providers of commercial real estate, businesses for sale, and small business lending online. I have been instrumental in providing millions of dollars to small business owners, growing franchise partnerships, and training and developing sales teams. I joined Side in October 2021 as a Sales Ambassador and quickly progressed to Manager of Partner Expansion and then Manager of Community Development. I am passionate about helping agents achieve their goals and create their own success stories.

With an education in business and anthropology, I firmly believe in the saying, "If you don't understand people, you don't understand business." I started my career working in the early-stage entrepreneurial and VC ecosystem, where I discovered a love for building and investing in innovative, consumer-focused companies. During my time at business school, a series of tragic and transformative back-to-back events led me to reimagine how we think, talk, and act about death. Reflecting on those experiences and my previous personal experiences with loss, I developed concepts that uniquely combined my academic, professional, and personal experiences. Now, I'm building resources and tools to help you contemplate, plan, and manage death, dying, and grief.

I’ve always believed that real impact starts with people - helping them grow, breaking down barriers, and creating opportunities where they didn’t exist before. That belief took root during my time in the Peace Corps in Peru, working alongside small business owners who were doing everything they could to build something sustainable for themselves and their communities. I saw how access to the right support - whether it was knowledge, resources, or the right connections - could completely change the trajectory of a business and community. That experience shaped everything I’ve done since. I’ve spent my career bringing people and resources together in ways that create real impact - leading partnerships at a top lending organization to help small businesses access capital, driving value at Salesforce to support their growth, and always finding ways to make things clearer and easier along the way. Now, at Justworks, I get to do exactly that by building partnerships that truly move the needle. If you’re looking to connect, let’s chat.
