Driven by Detail may be a newer business, but the experience behind it is not.
​
My background has always lived somewhere between numbers, operations, and making sure the details do not fall through the cracks. Before my career expanded into real estate, I had already built a substantial foundation in bookkeeping, accounting support, payroll, accounts payable and receivable, reconciliations, customer service, and operations-related roles across hospitality, manufacturing, packaging/service operations, publishing, events, and small business administration.
​
I first learned bookkeeping fundamentals as an accounting assistant back in 2003 for a five-location hotel chain, then continued building experience through QuickBooks-based accounting roles, office operations, invoicing, payment collection, expense tracking, account reconciliation, contract management, and client support. Those roles taught me how much businesses depend on accurate records, organized systems, clear communication, and reliable follow-through.
I later carried those skills into real estate and property management, where the details became even more important. I started and ran my own property management business for four years, growing it to 80 doors before selling it to a national company in 2022. During that time, I personally handled the bookkeeping and financial operations, including rent collection, expense tracking, vendor payments, bank reconciliations, monthly reporting, leases, tenant communication, and maintenance coordination. I also built many of the behind-the-scenes pieces that helped the business operate and present itself professionally, including branding, website updates, client-facing materials, and internal systems.
​
That business ownership experience matters because I understand what it feels like to be responsible for everything. I know how quickly the small details become heavy when you are trying to serve clients, manage money, organize systems, communicate clearly, and keep the business moving.
​
I am QuickBooks Online certified and hold both a BBA and an MBA from the University of Missouri-Kansas City. But the real value I bring is the combination of education, bookkeeping experience, business ownership, real estate knowledge, and practical operations support.
​​
Outside of my work in real estate and business support, I am also deeply interested in personal growth, conscious living, and helping people make sense of complex seasons of change. While that may seem separate from bookkeeping and operations, I see a clear connection: people need clarity in all areas of life, including the way their businesses are organized, managed, and supported.
​
Driven by Detail was created from that full-circle experience. It is built for business owners who need someone steady, organized, and detail-focused behind the scenes, someone who understands both the numbers and the day-to-day reality of running a business.
​
At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to make the back end of business feel less overwhelming. I help bring order to the details, clarity to the numbers, and steady support to the tasks that keep everything moving, so business owners can spend more time focused on the work only they can do.
