Human Centered Operations
Built to Last
Fractional COO and Consulting Services
for Real Estate Professionals
Nice to meet you!
My approach to operations is rooted in a unique intersection of human behavior and structural efficiency. With a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology, I began my career helping individuals navigate complex communication challenges. Today, I apply that same focus on neuro-inclusive communication and human connection to the corporate world. I excel at building accessible systems that people actually enjoy using.
For the last 8+ years, I served as the Chief Operating Officer of a property management and real estate development firm in New England. During my tenure, I led the organization through a period of massive transformation: tripling staff headcount, maintaining a consistent 12% annual rental income growth, overseeing multi million dollar monthly rent rolls. I’m an Appfolio power user, and help companies get the most out of the software.
Based in Quincy, MA, I now serve as a Fractional COO for growth-minded founders, property management companies, and real estate companies. I specialize in "tidying" operations, overhauling tech stacks, and streamlining workflows to capture significant savings (averaging 15% in overhead) without sacrificing company culture. I’m here to provide the architecture you need to scale, ensuring your systems are as elegant as they are effective.

I created the Executive Intensive for the visionary leader who is ready to clear the deck and reclaim their time. This is a high impact, 30 day partnership designed to audit, optimize, and streamline your operations from the inside out.

The Integrated COO package is my most comprehensive offering. In this role, I step into your organization as a fractional executive.

Sometimes you don’t need a total overhaul—you just need a specialist to solve a specific problem.
If you have a clear objective but lack the time or the internal "architect" to build the solution, my project-based services are designed to get you from to do to done. These are high-impact, defined scope engagements tailored to your most pressing operational needs.

Flexible, expert advice when you need it. Book hourly support across a range of topics—from planning to problem-solving. This focused consultation will help clarify your goals, map out next steps, and identify opportunities for growth.
