Ideas begin by asking a question and learning what exists out there in the world. Research is about documenting and understanding what exists but it identifies what does not exist leading to new ideas and new ways of thinking. I am launching Kuriositee Consulting because organizations need inspiration from outside of their walls but inspiration must be based in reality, leaving a room for imagination. As a current Doctoral Candidate in Business at Florida International University in Miami, FL and as an entrepreneur and past financial services executive, I have been trained in determining how to answer challenging questions and how to provide solutions that are both creative yet realistic.

​

My portfolio of work experience is steeped in Financial Services, working from institutions such as Bear Stearns, Citibank and American Express. During the 13 years in the financial services industry, I began my career as a financial analyst and business operations manager and moved to becoming a Chief of Staff of a global operations as well as managing a fee based portfolio that was entrenched in customer experience and marketing strategy. 

​

The next chapter of my life came with new challenges as I changed my career plans and became a mom-prenuer, leaning into the world of fashion-technology. Over the years I have taken on leadership roles in various non for profit organizations focusing on transformation initiatives. In 2021, I went back to school to earn my DBA (Doctorate of Business Administration) and I will be graduating in the summer 2024.

​

As a DBA candidate, I have embarked on a journey to help the youth sports industry better understand their customer stakeholders and I am currently working on this body of research. This initiative has lead me to create the Youth Sports Listen program which is geared to helping sports programs drive better performance of their operations.

​

I am not a traditional business leader, but then again, who is. My goal is to work with organizations to support their curiosity and develop solutions that will be successfully implemented given their resources and cultural fit.
