With more than four decades of entrepreneurial experience, I’ve built businesses, launched ventures, navigated setbacks, rebuilt from scratch, and helped leaders and founders find clarity, opportunity, and connection along the way.
Today my Primary focus is serving as Founding Partner of Qonnect Access Partners. This came about as the world changes rapidly and opportunity waits for no one. Roatan and the Bay Islands, QAP 3 legged Stool approach to business & the Kaizen Collective all are within the Ecosystem of QAP. This is the perfect compliment to my role as Chief Connecting Officer with the C-Suite Network, where my work centers on developing strategic alliances, growth partnerships, and trusted relationships among executives, entrepreneurs, and business innovators. I believe the greatest value in business isn’t found in transactions, but in the strength of the relationships that make growth possible."
Over the years I’ve worked across industries including hospitality, lifestyle development, media, small-business growth, and early-stage ventures. I’ve partnered with executives, investors, and founders who share a commitment to integrity, collaboration, and building businesses that create real value.
My passion today is helping leaders connect the dots between ideas and execution, opportunity and alignment, experience and legacy. I’m particularly interested in projects that bring people together, create meaningful partnerships, and empower entrepreneurs to thrive.
At this stage of my life and career, I value relationships, purpose-driven work, and the chance to support others on their journey, whether through strategic collaboration, mentorship, or shared experience.
If our paths align, I’m always open to meaningful conversations and opportunities to build something worthwhile together.

I believe the most valuable opportunities are created at the intersection of relationships, vision, and service. In 2004, I founded the New York School of Music and transformed it from a teaching studio into an award-winning music education and community destination, encompassing a performance venue, retail music store, café, and youth music camps. My commitment to leadership and community impact was recognized with the Women of Achievement Award, reflecting a passion for building organizations that create lasting value for the communities they serve.
Throughout my career, I have launched businesses, developed strategic partnerships, led marketing initiatives, built sponsorship programs, and created opportunities that help people and organizations thrive. Each step of that journey has strengthened my ability to recognize potential, build meaningful connections, and help turn ideas into action.
Today, as Operating Partner of Qonnect Access Partners, I continue to do what I enjoy most - bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, business leaders, and community stakeholders to explore possibilities, build meaningful partnerships, and create opportunities that make a difference.
I believe that every opportunity has the potential to create a ripple effect, generating growth, inspiring innovation, and leaving a positive impact on the people and communities it touches. That belief continues to guide both my work and my mission: creating opportunities that matter and helping others turn vision into reality.
