About Me

Partnering with me is an investment in you, and the difference you know you can make.

Drawing from more than 15 years of experience developing leaders, I excel at leaning into crucial conversations and providing a safe environment for diverse perspectives to be valued.

I commit to transparency. I believe in the dignity of the individual contributor and the power of group decision making.

I trust my intuition. I build relationships, challenge respectfully, and commend just as quickly.

I advocate for good and believe every person has the power to create meaningful change in the world.

I walk the talk by taking my self-development and care seriously in order to best serve you.

I embrace imperfection and curiosity as key components to daring leadership.

I live out my purpose with gratitude; to help individuals and organizations discover how to be their best selves, improving their effectiveness and health.

Experience and expertise are crucial; relationship is just as important. As we take the road less traveled together, we will get to know each other’s stories. The things that make us who we are. We will create a space to feel seen, heard, and valued; to choose courage over comfort – every step of the way.

Want to know more? Here are just a few stories that make up my own path…

Mountains are my respite

I travel to hike! In 2019, I spent three weeks hiking solo throughout Croatia, Bosnia, and Montenegro. Other favorites include Samaria Gorge, Oaxacan mountains, Oregon coast, Banff, the Yorkshire Dales, and any part of Zion National Park.

I live and thrive with endometriosis.

Endo did not win! I’ve endured 13 surgeries in 20 years. “Lucky 13” should be the last. Complications have nearly taken my life. The pain of this disease does not define me, it has given me grit. I appreciate the little things. I have learned to tap into the healing power of nature, and to care for and listen to my body. I’m not afraid of dying; I’m afraid of not fully living. Every moment is a gift.

Music is my healing space; it meets me where I am.

I’ve been playing, listening to, and watching music since I was a kid. For me it’s so much more than the notes on a page, it’s the stories told at their most raw self. I regularly host local and traveling artists’ shows in my home. I’m a sucker for the sound of a good vinyl. Favorites on constant rotation include Pierce Edens, Wolf and Moon, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, The National, Brandi Carlile, David Ramirez, Roo Panes, and Against Me.

I once ran a half marathon with two sprained ankles...

…downhill. ALL. THE. WAY. Fellow runners, you understand. Not far off the two-hour mark. All grit.

I am a work in progress... and I embrace all the detours.

Who hasn’t failed? I’ve certainly had my lessons and I’ve had my wins. Every. Single. Day. With each detour I rebound faster, become more curious, and celebrate the opportunity to learn and move forward.
