  • Owner

    I’ve always loved numbers, working with money, and—let’s be honest—spreadsheets. Growing up around my parents’ self-employed businesses gave me an early appreciation for the challenges small business owners face.

    In 2020, I co-founded Arise Accounting Co., which started with a lot of trial and error and custom spreadsheets. Over time, I found my focus and now run the business solo—providing bookkeeping services that help small business owners find clarity and confidence.

    When I’m not working, you’ll find me hanging out with my family or perfecting my coffee craft—because good coffee is a must!


  • Marketing Assistant

    Over the years of working in various marketing roles, I’ve discovered how much I love bringing structure to creative ideas. Whether it's planning out a content calendar, writing email sequences, or untangling a messy funnel, I thrive on making marketing feel simple, efficient, and organized.

    I’ve had the opportunity to support businesses across a wide range of industries—including real estate, fitness, and now accounting—helping them connect with their audiences in a way that feels both natural and intentional. My approach always centers on clarity: clear messaging, streamlined systems, and processes that actually save time instead of adding more to your plate.

    What lights me up is building systems that run in the background—like smart automations, evergreen email sequences, and repeatable workflows—so business owners can focus on the work they love. I truly believe entrepreneurs don’t need to do everything themselves. They just need the right tools, a bit of guidance, and a reliable partner who can bring their marketing ideas to life with calm, strategic support.

    When I’m not geeking out over marketing tools, you’ll probably find me at the beach, sipping a good cup of coffee, or hanging out with my dog (who thinks she runs the show).

  • Account Manager

    I have always been one who loves digging into the details, completing tasks and organizing anything and everything. The things that may seem mundane and boring to most people create excitement for me; give me a stack of documents to sort through, data to consolidate, or even a storage closet to clean out and I'll be in my happy place! I'm constantly looking for ways to organize and make things more efficient. I have plenty of customer service experience and have spent the past 10+ years as an office manager/administrative assistant for a medical practice. I love to be the "behind the scenes girl," taking care of the small things that are necessary to keep the business going so that the owners/staff can focus their time and energy on what brings them joy in their day to day.

    Outside of work, you can find me spending time with my family and friends, being outside when the weather is nice, settling into a good book or practicing my baking skills when I get the chance.
