You’re Not Lacking Drive -

You’re Lacking Systems

You know that feeling when your to-do list is overwhelming, so you tackle all the small, easy tasks instead of the thing that would actually move your business forward? You're not lazy; you're experiencing what happens when you lack the systems to support your ambition. When everything feels equally urgent and nothing has a clear path forward, productive procrastination becomes your default mode.

I'm a systems thinker. That means I see how everything in your business connects: how your intake process affects team morale, how unclear priorities create bottlenecks three steps downstream, how one wobbly system makes everything else harder. I bring both analytical precision and intuitive insight to operations. I can read the spreadsheet and sense what's not being said in your team dynamics. I'm energized by cutting through the chaos, finding the leverage points, and taking decisive action that creates ripple effects across your entire operation.

With a degree in Project Management from Bryant University and experience coordinating complex projects in fast-paced environments, I know what it takes to build systems that actually work in the real world; not just look good in a flowchart.

I started 'Working With Sky' because I saw too many talented business owners drowning in operational chaos - not because they lacked ability, but because they lacked the systems and support to execute their vision. They were stuck treating symptoms (the overflowing inbox, the missed deadline, the communication breakdown) instead of addressing the underlying patterns creating these issues. I help businesses, like yours, build the operational foundation growth demands by understanding how your workflows, team dynamics, and strategic priorities all interconnect.

Working With Sky isn't just another consulting firm… it's my personal brand. I don't completely separate "professional" from "personal," so you'll see photos from my travels, life, and things I love scattered throughout this site and my social accounts. The whole point of building better systems is creating freedom to actually live, right? I'm deeply practical about operations but equally committed to work that feels meaningful and serves something bigger than just efficiency. I bring corporate rigor to operations, but with the perspective of someone who refuses to sacrifice life for work. I practice systems thinking in my own life too; designing my work, travel, and personal time to reinforce each other rather than compete. I believe the best partnerships are built on clarity, momentum, and mutual respect - I help you build systems that support the life you want, not just the business you have.

We May Be A Good Fit If You’re…

1. The Visionary Ready to Scale

You’re ready to delegate but need a trusted partner to identify what's broken and build the systems your growth demands.


2. The Growing Team Leader

You have contractors or a small team, but no one's owning the operational details. Projects move forward only when you push them. You need structure and accountability.


3. The Overwhelmed Founder

You’re juggling too many projects, making every decision, and starting to resent the business you built. You need someone to lighten the operations load on your plate without losing visibility.


4. The Busy Professional

You’re great at your craft but drowning in project management, timelines, and coordination. You need systems that let you focus on what you do best.

Questions? I’ve Got Answers.

Here’s what most people want to know before we start working together.

  • Everything happens virtually! We'll connect via video calls for our initial consultation and regular check-ins, and I'll use your existing project management tools (or help you set up new ones if needed). Day-to-day communication happens through email, Slack, or your preferred platform.

    I'm based in Rhode Island and work with clients nationwide - location doesn't limit our ability to streamline your operations. That said, I'm open to in-person meetings for local clients or for clients willing to cover travel expenses when it makes sense for the project.

  • I adapt to your existing tools - the goal is to optimize your systems, not force you to learn new ones.

    I have experience with a handful of software, most notably Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Slides, Drive, Gmail), Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint), Slack, Notion, ClickUp, Monday.com, Wrike, Zapier, Canva, and Draw.io.

    My strength isn't just knowing the software; it's building or restructuring systems to actually work for your team. Whether that means a complete system overhaul or small tweaks that make a big difference, I'll meet you where you are and implement as much or as little change as your team can handle.

    If you're using a platform I'm less familiar with, I'll let you know upfront, but I'm a quick learner and happy to explore whether it's the right fit for your needs.

    And here's the truth: sometimes the best solution is a well-built spreadsheet. I'm all about what actually works, not what's trendy.

  • My expertise is in operations and project management, not marketing execution or content creation.

    I don't provide:

    • Marketing strategy or campaign execution

    • Social media management or content posting

    • Copywriting or content creation

    • Graphic design or branding

    • Website development or technical coding

    • Bookkeeping or financial services

  • Here's a simple way to think about it:

    Choose Project Work if:

    • You have a specific, well-defined need (launch, system implementation, process documentation)

    • You're ready to move quickly on a known issue

    • You want focused help with clear deliverables and timeline

    • You prefer working in sprints rather than ongoing engagement

    Choose Extended Partnership if:

    • You need consistent help with one primary operational focus area (Essential) or 2-3 concurrent areas (Growth)

    • You want predictable monthly support without scoping individual projects each time

    • You're in a growth phase and need a reliable operations partner

    Not sure? We'll figure it out together during your free consultation.

  • That's exactly what the free consultation is for!

    We'll discuss your current challenges, goals, and timeline. I'll recommend whether project work or an extended partnership makes the most sense for where you are now. You can always start with one option and adjust as your needs evolve. There is ZERO pressure to commit during our first conversation.

  • Start timelines vary based on project scope and current client capacity. Many clients begin within 1–3 weeks of our initial consultation and signed agreement, but I intentionally limit how many projects I take on at once so each client gets focused attention.

    If you have an urgent deadline or time-sensitive project, let me know on our call - I’ll be transparent about what’s possible and work with you to find the best path forward.

    Book your call today to get the process started.

  • Your free consultation is a 30 minute video call where we'll discuss your biggest operational challenges, current systems, team structure, and growth goals. I'll ask questions to understand what's actually slowing you down. By the end, you'll have clarity on your operational gaps and whether my support can help you get there.

    If we decide to work together, great!
    If not, you'll still walk away with valuable insights.

    No pressure, no sales pitch - just an honest conversation.

  • Project Work: 50% deposit to begin, 50% upon completion. All invoices are due within 7 days.

    Extended Partnerships: Monthly payment in advance, auto-renews each month. Payment due on the 1st of each month.

  • Extended Partnerships are month-to-month with 30 days' notice for cancellation. This means when you sign up, you're committing to at least two months (your first month plus the 30-day notice period).

    After that, you have full flexibility to cancel, modify, or adjust your package anytime with 30 days' notice.

    Project work operates differently - once we agree on scope and you pay the deposit, we complete the project as scoped. There's no ongoing commitment.

  • I'll always flag when we're approaching your monthly allocation - no surprises.

    Extended Partnerships: If we're approaching your monthly allocation, you can purchase additional hours ($85/hour for Essential, $75/hour for Growth), upgrade tiers for the following month, or pause non-urgent work.

    Project Work: If scope expands beyond the original estimate, we'll discuss additional hours before proceeding. Additional work is billed at $75/hour.

    I never exceed estimated hours without your approval.
