HEY, I'M KELSEY
I’m a business coach, podcast host, soon-to-be girl mom (June 2025!), and a firm believer that good businesses run on clarity, not chaos.

But I didn’t grow up dreaming of KPIs or backend systems.
I was just the first in my family to go to college, trying to figure it out as I went.
I picked Washington State University because it was far enough from home to feel like a fresh start. It ended up being one of the best decisions of my life. It’s where I met my husband. Built friendships that turned into business partnerships. And discovered a part of myself I didn’t know existed, someone who actually loved business.


Like, loved it.
I geeked out over presentations. Lived for case studies. Placed in the business plan competition.
Graduated with a degree in Entrepreneurship and launched straight into the real world consulting, startups, market analysis, and eventually… weddings?
Yeah. The pivot was real. And necessary.
While I was building a career doing market analysis for Washington businesses through WSU’s Seattle office, I was also doing hair and makeup on the weekends. Weddings. Photoshoots. Fashion shows. What started as a creative outlet quickly became a legit business and the more it grew, the more I realized I loved being the one calling the shots.
So I went all in. I opened a salon.
It was the perfect storm: I finally got to apply everything I’d studied in business school to something of my own. And I thrived. But while I was building my dream business, my industry friends were burning out, struggling with flaky clients, or drowning in the backend. So I started helping. Fixing pricing. Streamlining their offers. Building the systems they didn’t even know they needed.
One “quick question” turned into another… and another.
Eventually, the demand for strategy outweighed the hours I had behind the chair. So I pivoted again this time into coaching full-time.


Today, I work with business owners in the multi-6 to multi-7 figure range.
You’ve got proof of concept, traction, momentum but still too many bottlenecks.
You need systems, team structure, and strategy that actually scales.
That’s where I come in.
I’ve been the operator, the builder, the strategist, the service provider. I’ve worked inside businesses and on them. I’ve scaled my own company and helped dozens of others do the same. And I bring all of that into every coaching container, every 1:1, every decision we make together.
I also co-founded Empower PNW, a nonprofit that supports women-owned businesses, and host PNW Live, a live event built to bring powerhouse women together to grow, connect, and move forward with intention.
My work isn’t about hype or hustle.
It’s about helping you make the right decisions at the right time so your business finally runs like one.
Whether you’re listening to the Get Sh*t Done podcast, hiring me 1:1, or sending me a DM after a content mic-drop… I’m here to help you move.
Let’s build the business that actually works for you.
Cheers,
Kelsey
