What I do: I help companies with at least 5 full-time employees save money in both taxes and healthcare costs by enrolling in a Self Insured Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan (SIMERP). With healthcare costs continuing to rise, this is one way to improve your company's bottom line while at the same time expanding benefits offerings for your employees. It's a true win-win.

Who I am: I'm a serial entrepreneur, wife, and mother. I have a Bachelor's degree in Journalism from Rutgers University, and a Master's in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I grew up in southern Michigan and northern Indiana. I have a background in small business consulting, HR, real estate, and legal. I've lived in New York City, Los Angeles, Seattle, and have been in the Sacramento area since 2017.
