Most people sell a business once in their lifetime. My husband and I have built, bought, and sold several dental practices over the last 30 years, so I know what it’s like to sit in both the buyer and seller seats. I also bring three decades of leadership in nonprofit management and fundraising, having raised millions of dollars for human services, education, and renewable energy organizations. I’m a connector, a curious listener, and a talented negotiator who thrives on creating win-win experiences for my clients.
