I’m the oldest sibling of a single mother. Long before I had a title, I learned how to anticipate needs, keep systems running, and carry responsibility when there was no margin for error. I learned how to manage schedules, step in where support was thin, and make sure things didn’t fall apart. That early training—not a résumé line, but real life—became the foundation of Handled.

My professional career began in education. I spent years as a classroom teacher and tutor, working directly with students and families to create structure, accountability, and forward momentum. What became clear over time was that families weren’t failing to keep up—they were buried under coordination. Too many decisions. Too many disconnected providers. Too much invisible labor falling on already-full plates.

As my work expanded, so did my scope. I moved into large-scale project management, leading complex education and service initiatives that required precision, trust, and follow-through. I managed teams, budgets, timelines, and outcomes across multiple stakeholders, sharpening a simple truth I’d known since childhood: systems either support people—or exhaust them.

Handled was built at the intersection of those experiences. It’s not a collection of one-off services. It’s a household operations partner for families who want fewer decisions, clearer expectations, and one accountable point of contact.

At its core, Handled reflects how I’ve always shown up: thinking ahead, managing details, and creating order so others can focus on what matters most. Calm, capable support—handled the right way.
