My Background
I started my career as a desktop publisher and illustrator, later becoming a document analyst for NASA’s Space Shuttle program, supporting a 1,000-member operations team with technical writing, audit coordination, and process documentation. After stepping away from corporate life to raise my family, I transitioned into freelance design and digital entrepreneurship, building my own creative business from the ground up.
That real-world experience, combined with my background in operations, is what led me to launch Task Owl VA. Today, I provide fractional business support for entrepreneurs, creatives, and service providers—especially financial advisors, artists, and solo business owners wearing too many hats. My services range from inbox and calendar management to design audits, SOP development, and client communication systems.
I hold a B.S. in Graphic Design from Florida Southern College and an MFA in Illustration from the Academy of Art University.
Beyond the Business
I live and work in Chesterfield, Virginia, where I stay actively involved in the local small business community through networking and collaboration. I value curiosity, intentional living, and thoughtful communication, both in business and life.
When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll find me painting, crafting, reading, or spending quiet time in nature—observing the world, soaking in the details, and finding the stillness that helps fuel my creativity.
