As Founder and Principal Consultant at MKC Insights, I provide fractional COO and CHRO consulting support to emerging small businesses, nonprofits, and government contractors. I am a results-driven executive with nearly 20 years of experience in operational transformation, human capital strategy, and scalable growth across government contractors, technology firms, and professional services organizations. I’m best known for my strategic vision, operational rigor, and authentic leadership that help individuals and organizations reach their full potential.

Throughout my career, I’ve held executive roles including Chief Operating Officer at Artemis ARC, Vice President of Corporate Operations at Aptive Resources, and Chief People & Culture Officer at Definitive Logic. At Artemis, I increased project gross margin by 7 percent in one year, implemented a compensation and performance management structure to drive delivery and growth, and supported operational setup for a $23B VA IDIQ. At Aptive, I supported multiple joint ventures and business lines, growing the company from 35 to 500 employees and from $10M to $75M in revenue over four years. Our team earned a spot on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for two consecutive years. At Definitive Logic, I led strategic human capital and infrastructure initiatives that contributed to multiple "Best Places to Work" awards.

I’m a hands-on, scrappy leader who thrives on solving problems, aligning people and processes, and turning strategy into action. I love using good data to drive decisions and take pride in creating environments where employees feel valued, supported, and set up to succeed even when budgets are tight.

I hold a Master’s in Human Resource Management (Federal Sector) from The Catholic University of America and a Bachelor’s in Psychology from Marymount University. I’m a working mom of two young boys, an RV travel enthusiast, and a lifelong volleyball coach and athlete.
