Rising Above

My idea to become a full time business management consultant didn't materialize until 2023. However, the seeds that have grown my passion for this line of work can be traced to 2021. During an interview, I was asked a question that caught me off guard: "How many diapers are used in the US each day?". I took a moment to think up my framework to breakdown the problem into specific must-know variables to calculate the total: population of the US, average life expectancy, age of diaper users, clarification if we are calculating for adult/baby diapers, breaking down the percentages of people by age, calculating the total number of babies using diapers in the US, then estimating the number of diapers each baby used. Although the question phased me briefly, I was able to provide an answer within a few moments, while showing my thought process. This allowed me to interview with the President of the company next, however, was ultimately not hired as I was overqualified for what they wanted because my thought methodology had shown my logical process mapping. It was a bittersweet moment, but made me self-aware of my process of thought and now actively applied it through every task I encountered since then.

​

At the next position I held, I was able to manage a staff of 8, in 3 departments, and created solutions for issues that had plagued the staff for years. Due to this, we had increased our revenue by approx. 50% year over year without an increase in sales staff. When I had entered this company, I was told that the Sales team was not trained how to sell; this was not the case! The flurry of administrative duties and inefficient standard operating procedures caused the shortfall. This showed me that even larger companies have many inefficiencies that haven't been explored. This set me on my journey to learn more about management consulting and the want to help small and mid-sized businesses correct their shortcomings to ease operations and increase growth.

​

I have always centered my discussions to find solutions with logic, as I am determined to achieve the goals we have set. This is why I like to have an opening dialogue to ensure our company is a good fit for your needs and only pursue an engagement if we're confident in providing solutions for your current concerns.
