About

Welcome to Rising Tide Business Support! I'm Nellie, the founder and heart behind Rising Tide. With a rich background of experiences and a passion for small business empowerment, I've dedicated my career to supporting entrepreneurs on their unique journeys.

Since 2019, I served as the Operations Manager at The Sassy Olive, honing my skills in efficient business operations and fostering a positive workplace culture. Prior to that, I ran a successful catering business for three years, immersing myself in the dynamic world of entrepreneurship.

A key chapter in my journey included six years as a chef at a casino, where I developed detailed training programs, managed cost percentages on a massive level, and navigated complex corporate human resource policies. Teaching cooking and food safety classes became a natural extension of my love for sharing knowledge and my passion for food. Shortly after, I started teaching cooking classes and still offer classes at my home.

Over the years, I’ve written business plans, employee handbooks, and training programs for multiple businesses. I am experienced in creating and installing highly detailed operational flows. I hold a college degree in Small Business Management and Entrepreneurship, another degree in Food and Beverage Management, and a certificate in bookkeeping. I’ve known what my passion is for a long time, and I’ve spent my working life attaining the experiences that would allow me to do exactly this. 

I believe that the entrepreneurial journey is not just about moving from point A to point B; it's about thoroughly enjoying the entire ride. My mission at Rising Tide is to help you be present with the fact that you are where you are. Because where you are is pretty freakin' cool. I do this by automating the day-to-day tasks that might hinder your ability to fully enjoy what makes you and your business special.

Let's navigate the challenges, celebrate the successes, and build a thriving business together.

Welcome to Rising Tide! When we all do better, we all do better.

Website Builds

I’ve designed websites for small businesses that are clean, functional, and tailored to their unique needs. If you see a style or layout that resonates with you, I can create something similar for your brand. Let’s collaborate to bring your vision to life.

Nellie in a Can

Nellie in a Can is a peek inside the portable toolkit of a website-building, van-living, cliff-scaling creative nomad. I help small businesses show up online with websites that work as hard as they do, all while chasing good views and even better Wi-Fi. From domain setups in dusty trailheads to content tweaks under campfire light, this is where digital strategy meets dirty boots. This is also where I link the products I use and love, because when you’re working from the road, every tool has to pull its weight.
