McDaniel, Maryland, United States
Throughout my career, one thing has remained constant — I find operational gaps, build the systems to close them, and create infrastructure that scales. My background spans Big 4 consulting (PwC, KPMG), fintech operations, entrepreneurship, and franchising. Across every chapter, the throughline has been the same: taking complex, inefficient processes and turning them into structured, repeatable systems that drive measurable outcomes. As Founder of Baseck Training / Innovative Wellness Holdings, I built a wellness business from concept to 7-figure revenue in under 18 months — designing the operational playbooks, automated workflows, and team infrastructure that allowed it to scale without me in every seat. At Onbe Digital Payments, I spent five years as Senior Process Optimization Manager owning end-to-end operational improvement across core business functions — including building the organization-wide Sales Lifecycle Process adopted across all departments. Now at Franchise Sidekick, I combine that operational lens with franchise advisory — helping entrepreneurs identify franchise systems that are actually built to scale. Beyond client work, I designed a pipeline operations system to optimize client management, to be more efficient and effective with my time.
Success in franchising isn't just about finding the right opportunity—it's about having the right strategy, support, & people in your corner. As a Franchise Advisor at Franchise Sidekick, I guide entrepreneurs & investors through franchising, minimizing risk & identifying growth opportunities. My role combines strategic business evaluation with a deep understanding of the franchise model to connect individuals with franchises that align with their goals. Key Responsibilities • Franchise Evaluation: Analyze opportunities, evaluate Franchise Disclosure Documents, & assess key performance indicators to match clients with high-potential brands. • Client Consultation: Conduct personalized consultations to understand financial goals, risk tolerance, & lifestyle preferences. • Opportunity Matching: Use expertise in business optimization & risk management to identify scalable franchise models. • Strategic Guidance: Offer ongoing support throughout the franchise discovery process, advising on business operations & growth strategies. • Franchise Education: Educate clients on franchise ownership, breaking down complex aspects into clear steps. • Industry Networking: Maintain strong relationships with franchisors, franchisees, & industry experts. • Closing Support: Assist clients through the final steps of acquisition, ensuring a smooth transition to ownership. My Approach I combine my background in consulting, entrepreneurship, & business evaluation to offer a unique perspective on franchising. I am passionate about helping clients make informed decisions, matching them with franchises that meet their financial goals & align with their values. By assessing emerging opportunities, I guide entrepreneurs toward sustainable success. My approach is: • Tailored & Strategic: Personalizing the franchise journey to meet specific needs. • Simplified Process: Breaking down complex concepts into actionable steps. • Integrity-Driven: Prioritizing long-term success & relationships.
