Hello there! I'm Brie and I'm so glad you're here.
If you've ever found yourself staring at an overflowing inbox, a calendar that looks like a game of Tetris or a to-do list that seems to grow legs and run away from you… Well, I made this business for you.
.
My Approach
Cheerful, calm, and encouraging—that's how I show up for you. I start each day with a hot cup of green tea and a genuine love for tackling the tasks that weigh you down.
Think of me as the behind-the-scenes teammate who wants to handle it all: taming your overflowing inbox, managing customer service so your clients feel cared for, wrangling social media so your presence stays consistent, booking travel so you can actually look forward to your trips, and keeping billing, invoicing, and project management from becoming overwhelming. Plus all those day-to-day tasks that somehow multiply when you're not looking.
Maybe you don’t need someone every day but you’ve got one project that feels overwhelming. Maybe you need a focused work or accountability session to get back on track. Or maybe you want ongoing support you can rely on. However you need help, I’ll meet you there.
Whatever paperwork is stealing your time and energy—I'm here for it.
My goal is simple: to help you breathe a little easier. Because when someone's got your back, your inbox, and your sanity all in good hands? You're free to focus on what you started your business to do. ✨

Winston
Paper Trail Hounds was named after my very best friend, Winston. He was the kind of soul who didn't just sit by my side—he nudged me forward. In his own quiet, loyal way he let me know I was made for bigger things, bigger dreams. When he passed, he left me with something precious: the courage to go after those dreams.
