Work Background
Rise Hire ConsultingFounder
Jan. 2024Empowering Coaches and Small Business Owners to Scale with Confidence At Rise Hire Consulting, I help overwhelmed solopreneurs, coaches, and consultants make their first successful virtual hire. My mission is to guide service-based business owners through every step of the hiring journey—from identifying what to delegate, to crafting a tailored hiring strategy, to onboarding and managing the right virtual assistant. By empowering clients to focus on their zone of genius, I help them reclaim time, reduce burnout, and achieve sustainable growth. Who I Serve:
I specialize in working with female solopreneurs and small business owners, often aged 35–65, who are mindset-driven, self-development-oriented, and eager to scale their businesses. Many of my clients have been managing everything on their own and are ready for tailored guidance to grow with systems and support. My Background & Expertise:
With nearly a decade of experience supporting solopreneurs, I’ve seen firsthand the transformative impact of the right hire. My work in client success and strategic planning revealed how hiring and delegation can free business owners from overwhelm, allowing them to focus on growth and their unique strengths. By helping clients streamline their processes and build the right support systems, I’ve empowered countless entrepreneurs to reclaim their time, scale their businesses, and thrive. As Director of Client Experience at Susan B. Zimmerman Enterprise and Client Success Manager at PriorityVA, I partnered closely with business owners to identify gaps, implement solutions, and foster growth. This hands-on experience shaped my passion for helping small business owners achieve scalable success. While working with a virtual staffing agency, I achieved a 95% success rate in matching clients with their ideal virtual assistants, refining my skills in identifying talent, streamlining processes, and ensuring long-term success.
