In a former life, I was a political consultant and lobbyist. I loved it, it was fascinating, and I'd never do it again. But my experiences informed why I do what I do today.

My biggest struggle was that my revenue was tied to the election cycle, making my income erratic. If there were resources that could help me grow and scale my company back then, I didn't know how to find them and I didn't know who to trust.

I was a really good consultant but I had no sales training or experience with pricing. I felt frustrated, embarrassed, and afraid that I couldn’t make this work. Ultimately, with a surprise divorce and three little kids at home, I closed my firm and gained years of experience as Director of Operations at a leading international school.

Those experiences motivated me to become that resource for other women business owners, founding The Block Group in 2006.

I bring a unique perspective, having experienced and solved many of the same complex issues we face as women, as leaders, as moms, daughters and sisters.

62% of women rely on their businesses for their primary income, yet 88% of these businesses generate less than $100,000 in annual revenue. 

Having seen the same struggles time and again, I teach women how to shift their mindset and build their confidence to generate more revenue with less stress.

Managed effectively, change can become a productive force for growth. The Block Group harnesses that potential, turning roadblocks into building blocks for women-owned businesses.
