You can always begin again, and build something that truly fits
You don’t have to follow a straight line. I never did.
I’ve built careers in law, hospitality, and entrepreneurship, and I’ve rebuilt my life after profound loss. Today, I channel that experience into helping others navigate change, grow with confidence, and create businesses that support the lives they truly want.
​
Through Mediation Florida, ADR Catalyst, and Black Urchin Boutique Resort, my work blends strategy, systems, and creativity — always grounded in the belief that freedom and fulfillment are possible at every stage.
About
I’ve built law firms and luxury brands. Now I’m building something that matters even more.
I started as a litigator and law firm founder, driven and detail-oriented, but creatively stifled. I loved solving problems, yet the courtroom left little room for imagination.
​
Everything shifted when I moved to the Cayman Islands. I became a developer and designer, creating Luxury Cayman Villas and Black Urchin Boutique Resort. Building spaces and experiences that blended beauty with intention allowed me to reconnect with the creative part of myself that had been waiting to breathe again.
​
Then life changed in an instant. COVID arrived. My husband passed away unexpectedly. Overnight I was a solo parent, a business owner holding multiple ventures together, and a woman rebuilding her life from the ground up.
​
That reinvention fuels me now.
​
Through Mediation Florida, I help legal professionals resolve disputes with clarity, efficiency, and a tech-forward approach that meets the pace of modern practice. Through ADR Catalyst, I guide new and transitioning mediators in building practices that are profitable, purposeful, and aligned with the lives they want today. Designing courses, frameworks, and systems has reawakened my love for creating. And through Black Urchin, I continue to nurture the hospitality brand I built from the sand up, proof that elegance and heartfelt experiences can live side by side.
​
No matter the venture, my work blends strategy, creativity, and the lived experience of rebuilding after loss and change. I believe your business should support your life, not consume it. And you can always design what comes next.

Impact and Insights
Beyond the Work
My ventures are a reflection of who I am, but they’re not the whole story.
The businesses I’ve built carry strategy, creativity, and heart, yet they’re rooted in the life I live outside of work. Travel, family, and everyday joys remind me what I’m really building toward: balance, connection, and a meaningful life.
A bit more about me
I love to travel. Paris is my happy place and reminds me to slow down. Some of my happiest memories with my family took place there. I love animals (I have 3 dogs) and they remind me to be present. And I love champagne. It taught me to celebrate - even the small wins.
