Most women founders at $5M and up have the same problem: a business that runs on them. Revenue is there. A team is in place. What is missing is the structural integrity that separates a business from a job, and a founder from an owner. KINZA Collective works on that gap. We assess businesses the way buyers and investors do, identify what is suppressing value, and advise on the organizational and strategic changes required to create real optionality. The work sits at the intersection of operational infrastructure, leadership design, and transaction strategy, and it is grounded in the experience of having built, scaled, and exited companies, not just advised them. We operate through a vetted collective of fractional C-suite operators with real backgrounds in M&A, private equity, and scaling. The advice is specific, structural, and built around one conviction: women founders deserve businesses that generate real wealth, not just revenue.

▶︎ I help high achievers, who secretly or not so secretly like to color outside the lines and have accomplished some pretty incredible things in their life and business. They've held it together for a long time and it may look effortless to everyone else… BUT LATELY they’ve been struggling behind the scenes. Something doesn't feel quite right, like the pair of beloved jeans that no longer fit in all the right places. Nobody else knows it… but they do! They are questioning if there isn't more, something different. Can their deepest desires and quiet dreams become a reality? That's where I come in. I help them find the clarity and confidence to boldly move forward aligned with their truest desires.

I started as an Exhibit Design Consultant with Des Moines Skyline Displays in 2000. In 2006 the opportunity to purchase the Des Moines distributorship was offered and a decision was made to take the next step. Since that time we have grown the business significantly. Today we have 10+ experts on staff and service the western half of Iowa and the state of Nebraska!

I began my career in the field of fitness having graduated from Iowa State University with a Bachelor in Science Degree in Exercise and Sports Physiology. Shortly after my first position as a Corporate Wellness Coordinator and Fitness Center Director I found myself in the world of Entrepreneurship. I purchased my first company at the age of 30 and well, the pursuit of success left me busy, stressed and lacking compassion and love for myself. After 12 years my body could no longer hold together. It took 4 years to bring my health back to a place better than it has ever been and to a happiness I have never experienced. Taking control of my own life, opening my heart, following my intuition and the introduction to Thetahealing® all brought about self healing. We all have the ability to take back our own power, find our health and enjoy this life to the fullest. Having traveled this road has given me a compassion and love for healing and walking alongside you in your journey would be an honor.

I took great pride in working with our clients on their trade show marketing programs, specifically in their exhibit design, show services and exhibit management. I was a satellite office for Trade Show Marketing in Cedar Rapids, Iowa until I purchased the distributorship in January of 2000.
