About Marla
Are you ready to delegate some of those tasks on your to do list and focus on what matters most?
If you are an entrepreneur who wants to have more money and more time to enjoy life, allow me to take some of those tasks off of your plate allowing you time to focus on what matters most.
My multi-faceted approach utilizes my 30 years of experience as an entrepreneur and an educator.
My Master’s degree from Pepperdine University in Educational Leadership has provided me the leadership experience I need to communicate, organize and delegate. After working as a consultant with schools internationally, I am skilled at helping leaders and teams review and analyze their work to make decisions and take action. My experience with WordPress comes from building my own websites and testing their conversion rates. Let me support your business needs.
