I'm the Founder & CEO of LooseEnds, an after loss service that helps families with settling affairs after death. Since its infancy, LooseEnds has provided a concierge service to guide, organize, and support executors through the administrative tasks and logistics that arise. Looking ahead, I'm trying to digitize parts of the process to make it more streamlined and less burdensome. I previously worked in data analytics and investment management before going back to school to start LooseEnds. I graduated from American University with a double major in International Studies (2014), and holds an MBA from UCLA Anderson (2022).
While I spend most of my days thinking about death, grief, and the ensuing logistics, I’ve never been “passionate” about it, as many entrepreneurs are told to feel. But what I do feel is endlessly frustrated and curious about what families must endure and I’m committed to finding solutions that can help during some of the worst times in a person’s life. I lost both my parents when I was fairly young, and became an executor at 23. At a base level, I knew this would be a terrible emotional rollercoaster. But what I was never prepared for was how awful the practical side was – the coordination, paperwork, asset management, etc. And I was shocked to find very few resources that helped. That piece stayed with me for a long time and led me to find a better way to support families who had recently experienced a loss.
Winding down affairs can be a daunting task. Executors and families are tasked with handling assets, debts, accounts, insurance, property, businesses, and the digital legacy. It's time-consuming, exhausting, and frustrating. Despite the universality of this experience, there is no roadmap. I help guide you through estate administration and the account changes that must be taken care of after death.

While many see the funeral as the final step, executors and families continue to deal with logistics in the months and years after death. These can include big things like filing insurance claims, managing probate, filing taxes, changing a title or deed on a car or home, transitioning ownership of financial accounts.
It can also be smaller things like closing a bank account, memorializing social media, sorting through your loved one's closet, and canceling magazine subscriptions in their name.
Absolutely not. In fact, that's what we want. LooseEnds works with your existing professional resources, like estate lawyers or accountants, or connects you with new service providers in your area.
We believe that even with all the resources in the world - estate lawyers, accountants, grief specialists, realtors - there are still things that no one can help with. That's where we come in.
If you are an executor and already managing a busy lifestyle, LooseEnds can help. We want you to have space to feel, process, and heal after loss and not to be clouded with all of these logistics. LooseEnds helps to organize, prioritize, and coordinate the process for you so that you can feel empowered and comfortable moving forward.
Need to organize what, when and how you have to do everything? We're here for that. Need help navigating big decisions? We can talk it through with you. Need help with the minute details of canceling an online account, finding the right customer service number, or how to donate your person's sweaters? We are here to help.
You're already here, so you've already started! You can schedule a free call with us if you would like to learn more about our services. If you'd like to stay in touch, join our community to receive helpful resources, updates on new offerings and features, and tips for navigating this challenging time in your life.
Our promise is that pricing is always transparent for our customers given that pricing of death related services is often not so clear cut. If you ever feel that we can do better with making pricing more clear please contact us.
