People refer to me as a ray of sunshine — and I agree. I bring positive, infectious energy to everything I do. I see past where a business is today and help the people inside it envision — and believe in — where it's going. My brothers have a word for it: Ruth-fluence.

I'm an extrovert who genuinely loves people. I use humor and real human connection to pull people in. I create environments where people feel welcomed, valued, and part of something bigger than the task in front of them.

That's how I approach every client engagement. Finance and operations transformation is fundamentally a people challenge. I just happen to also be really good at the numbers.

I grow with you, until you are ready to grow on your own.
