About
I am a technical and business coach who helps individuals at various stages of "stuckness" achieve their goals.
Who I am best at helping:
👾 Technical Newbies or Business Owners
I can help with a wide range of problems. I've helped a nurse set up her agency website, a therapist format an e-book for publishing, a full-time sales professional learn the ropes for his social media content creation side hustle.
🧑🏽💻 Media and Content Creators or Technical Creators
I'll show you how to leverage AI tooling to teach yourself many skills, create content, and reduce time spent doing tedious, laborious, or repetitive tasks. I can also walk you through foundational video, photo, and graphic creation and editing with tools like iMovie, Adobe Premiere, CapCut, or Canva. I can also help with a variety of other more "technical" things, such as publishing a book on Amazon or linking together your various systems for accounting, customer contacts, etc.
🛠️ Managers and Analysts
Learn and apply tools to streamline your operations and reduce repetitive tasks. With the correct practices and tooling, you can gather insight from your data.
🎥 Every session is held remotely and optionally includes a follow-up email with a recording of our meeting & meeting notes.

First time using Thumbtack as a service. So far I have been very satisfied all around. My instructor Sarah is patient, knowledgeable and a pleasure to work with thus far. I’m looking forward to my next session!

Sarah is amazing. She is there for a crisis or stuck project, but at the same time, she is teaching me how to solve problems myself, short cuts and tricks to make computer life easier. I have her come every week – or when crisis hits - and always learn more than I expected.

Sarah and her assistant Michael helped me set up my new Mac for work and get comfortable with the functionality. I used to own a PC and the experience is totally different. I was surprised at how easy it was to work on the problem remotely with them, but they are patient and genuinely supportive and it became natural after three sessions or so. They also followed up with small recordings of lessons from the session which I've gone back to a time or two.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Pricing is hourly, and packages are available for anyone who wants at least four hours (i.e., sessions).
Packages do not have a ticking time bomb or "expiration date" unless you have not used them within one year.
We can also take an "a la carte" approach to working together. I'll send you a page to pay and schedule time together. My availability there is up-to-date and easy to work with across time zones.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We can discuss the details of your needs, and if it's a good fit, we can schedule a time to begin working together. Or, if you just want to schedule something, let me know, and I'll send you the details.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Ten years of experience working in tech startups and on independent projects.
I began as a Software Engineer specializing in full-stack web and mobile application development. From the very beginning of my career, I have contributed to many other aspects of those companies (content creation, product development, marketing, business development, etc.).
I also have a BA in Philosophy and have learned many lessons from my life, work, and creative endeavors.
