I started Unjumbled Business Advantage because I watched too many small business owners make HR decisions in a vacuum. They'd worry they were getting it wrong, fear they were exposing themselves to legal risk, and handle sensitive situations alone—second-guessing every step. Or they just had no clue what they didn't know. They needed someone they could call who wouldn't judge them for not knowing the answers and would tell them straight what was at risk.

That's what I do. I've been working with small to medium-sized businesses since 2009—first in corporate HR roles typically as an HR department of one, then as a consultant since 2018—and I've made it my mission to be the HR partner small businesses actually need.

My Approach to Small Business HR Consulting

Here's how I work: I listen first. I ask questions about your specific situation, your employee dynamics, and your business constraints. Then I give you straight answers about what's at risk and what your options are. I don't apply generic templates to your unique problems. I don't use fear to push you toward solutions. And I work in strict confidence—what you share with me stays between us.

Industries I specialize In

I specialize in industries with complex HR challenges: cannabis (compliance and regulatory), construction and hospitality (high-turnover complexity), professional services (professional development and team dynamics), and veterinary/pet services (passion-driven teams with specific management needs).

Multi-State HR Expertise (California, New York, Oregon, Washington)

I'm not a certified HR professional—I'm a real-world HR operator. Over 17+ years, I've built HR departments from scratch, managed difficult employee situations, navigated multi-state employment law (California, New York, Oregon, Washington), and helped dozens of businesses avoid the expensive mistakes that drain resources and create legal exposure.

I understand small business economics. I know your bottom line matters. And I know that when an HR situation hits, you need someone who understands urgency and can help you navigate it with confidence.

Why Small Business Owners Choose Work With Me

I get straight to the point. No jargon, no corporate-speak.

I understand your situation first before recommending anything.

I'm responsive. When you have an HR crisis, you need answers—not a callback in a week.

I work in confidence. Your situations, your challenges, your confidential employee matters—they stay protected.

I tell you what's at risk, then help you decide what to do about it.
