I am an entrepreneur and world traveler based in magical Valle Crucis, NC. With an MBA from Duke University and a BA in Dance from Columbia College in Chicago, I apply a unique combination of business expertise and creativity to all of my projects. I founded IdealSpace Consulting in 2010, and have helped over 100 individuals, businesses, and nonprofits articulate their goals and streamline their processes. I am the Program Director at Ascent Business Network focusing on rural economic development, and I also own and operates the Valle Crucis Lavender House, a seasonal agritourist destination in the High Country. With additional projects ranging from the performing arts to impact investing, I believe that good business has the potential to change the world.
