I was the person everything ran through. Now I help schools and small organizations fix that.
Growing schools, small businesses and nonprofits rarely stall for lack of mission. They stall when intake, paperwork, contracts and staffing all depend on one exhausted person.
I know because I was that person. As co-founder and COO of Strike School, a Cognia-accredited online K–12 school, I built our operations from the ground up:
- Our own student information system and automated enrollment
- Approved-provider agreements and invoicing with ESA programs in more than a dozen states
- Hiring, onboarding and coaching for about 20 Learning Coaches
- NIST AI Risk Management Framework alignment and vendor privacy reviews
Strike School grew enrollment by more than 700% on those systems.
Before that, I spent eight years as a K–12 registrar and served on a public water district board, so I know public-agency rules too. I’ve worked in technology since 1988.
Today, through Strike Streamlining, I work with growing schools, small businesses and nonprofits as a fractional COO. I lead the operations work, train teams and help organizations use AI responsibly, and my Streamlining Specialists build the automations so the systems stick.

My team
Every project is led by me and built with my Streamlining Specialists. Both are Google Certified and experienced in Microsoft 365, so we work in whichever tools you already use.
Kelly
Streamlining Specialist · Google Certified
Kelly builds the systems: shared drives, forms, automations and the step-by-step guides your team uses after we leave.
Brian
Streamlining Specialist · Google Certified
Brian makes the tools you already pay for work together, so information gets entered once and lands where it’s needed.
How I work
- I tell you if the best answer is something your team can handle on its own.
- I work inside the tools you already own; you keep everything we build.
- I don’t keep access to your systems after a project unless you ask me to.
