As a SCORE volunteer, I look forward to utilizing my prior experiences to help you, my future SCORE clients. I have a varied background, and combine that with a natural ability and desire to listen to you and get to the heart of the matter in identifying and assisting you in solving your most pressing business issues - both short and long-term. In my law practice, I helped many clients with business strategy, operations and cash-flow/ROI oriented decisions. As a sole owner of the law practice, as well as building other businesses from the ground up, I have developed expertise in business development, from the start-up phase to a mature phase. I consider myself particularly well-versed in marketing, especially in evaluating the best methodologies of in-person networking, public relations and web-based marketing. I also recognize how vitally important crossing over from the success of the business being mostly about the efforts of its owner/founder in wearing all hats to the efforts of its owner/founder in learning which tasks to delegate/manage and how to go about building a team of people to advance the business - and I will likely help you keep an eye on that issue even if the business is not ready to be bigger than you today. I also had first-hand experience in founding a charity and in serving on nonprofit boards, where governance and protocols are both important and different than in the for-profit world.
