The Genesis:
​
Our story begins with Monica's roots in the healthcare industry at the tender age of 15. Starting as an Anesthesia Technician Assistant at the University of Maryland Medical Center, Monica witnessed the intricacies of healthcare operations but found her true calling lay beyond direct clinical care.
Corporate Way:
Monica's journey led her to a 12-year tenure at Johns Hopkins Healthcare, where she honed her skills in communications, corporate engagement, and change management. The experiences gained became the bedrock of her professional growth, yet the yearning for flexibility and a new challenge lingered.
Entrepreneurial Leap:
In partnership with her husband, Monica embarked on a new chapter, starting an Assisted Living business. This venture exposed her to the intricacies of entrepreneurship, unveiling the need for tailored solutions to navigate the challenges small health and wellness businesses face.
Founding SBMS:
Driven by a passion to share her insights and expertise, Monica founded SBMS. The brand stands as a beacon for businesses seeking management solutions and a partner on their growth journey. SBMS is more than a consultancy; it's a guide, a mentor, and a companion for businesses striving to reach their full potential.
