Supporting Those Who Support Animals
Helping Animal Rehabilitation and Sanctuaries Evolve From Survival to Sustainability
Building Strong Foundations for Animal-Focused Organizations
Most people who dedicate their time to animal rehabilitation, sanctuaries and small zoos, do it out of pure love. Not because they dream of managing budgets, operations, or growth plans. And honestly, that’s exactly how it should be. But here’s the hard truth: without a strong business foundation, even the most passionate, mission-driven organizations can struggle to survive.
That’s where Untamed Success comes in! For more than two decades, I’ve built and grown businesses. At the same time, I’ve spent almost as many years volunteering with animals, seeing firsthand the challenges these organizations face behind the scenes.
Today, I bring those two worlds together to help animal rehab centers, sanctuaries and small zoos move beyond the distracting challenges of running a business that can often feel like day-to-day survival and instead build sustainable, thriving organizations so they can focus on what matters most: caring for animals. Because when the business works, the mission lasts.
It starts with a passion, right?
At some point, what started as a deep love for animals turned into something more.
You’ve figured things out as you went. You’ve stretched resources, worn multiple hats, and made it work because the animals needed you to.
But sometimes, it can feel like no matter how hard you work, you’re always one step behind.
This is the turning point where “figuring it out” is no longer enough.
The moment when you realize that caring deeply isn’t the problem. It’s having the structure, strategy, and support to match that passion that is needed.
This is where we begin to shift things. Not all at once because you’re already busy enough, but thoughtfully, intentionally, and at a pace that works for you.
Working together to create clarity, build the right strategy, and turn your vision into something real and achievable.
How I Can Support You
Ongoing Mentoring
Growth Strategy Intensives
Mission-Related Marketing
Not Every Organization Needs The Same Kind of Support
Sometimes the need is urgent.
Sometimes the pressure has been building quietly over time.
And sometimes, you simply know it’s time to do something different, even if you are not yet sure what that looks like. Wherever you are, that is where we begin.
When something needs immediate attention, I step in alongside you to quickly assess the situation, bring structure to the chaos, and help you move forward with clarity and confidence. In other cases, you may have a clear vision for where you want to go, but the path to get there is not fully defined.
Together, we develop a focused and practical strategy that aligns your mission, operations, and resources. The goal is not just to work harder, but to move forward with intention and direction. As your organization grows, new challenges will come. You do not have to navigate them alone.
Through ongoing mentoring, I serve as a trusted thought partner, helping you make decisions, create clear action plans, stay focused, and continue building over time. This is the difference between training and true mentoring.
It is having someone who understands how to build and run a business, and who is also deeply committed to the mission behind your work, helping you apply the right solutions to your specific situation.
If you are ready to explore what is possible, I would be glad to start a conversation about where you are and how I can support you.
Have you ever had a moment where everything in your life (especially things that once felt separate) suddenly comes together in a way that just makes sense?
That’s where I find myself now and it’s exactly where Untamed Success was born. For years, my life was made up of distinct paths that didn’t seem connected.
There was the business side of building, growing, and scaling organizations, including being part of a team that didn’t just succeed, but helped reshape an entire industry while growing from $4 million into tens of millions.
There was the personal side of growing up in the Chicago Public School system alongside people from 22 different countries, shaping how I see the world, followed by a more formal path through an MBA focused on marketing and executive leadership.
There was the entrepreneurial side of owning and running a franchise and later my own business, experiencing both the wins and the setbacks, and learning just as much from what didn’t work as from what did.
And through all of it, there were the animals. They were the constant thread. They grounded me and renewed me. The work that never felt like work (even though it is often really dirty). For years, these parts of my life existed side by side. Until I realized they were never meant to be separate: They were meant to come together right here, for this.
To support the people who show up every day for animals… often without the resources, structure, or support they truly deserve. Creating Untamed Success isn’t just a business decision. It’s the result of everything I’ve experienced, learned, and cared about all now coming together with purpose. And being able to use that to help you build something stronger, more sustainable, and built to last? That’s what makes this so meaningful to me.
I’m truly looking forward to being part of your journey.
