About Me

I help organizations make sustainable change by cultivating trust, respect, and curiosity. Your people are your greatest asset! You have the power to transform their work experience by fostering safe and inclusive environments where everyone has a voice. As a result, they’ll want to show up fully and give their best every day. 


In today's fast-paced climate, where change is a constant, conversations about inclusive leadership development can be challenging and daunting.


That’s why you need a compassionate leader – one who embodies the work with integrity – to be your guide. That’s where I come in.


As your guide on this journey, I show up authentically, consistently, and with integrity every day. I listen fully to all concerns and build relationships. I accompany and support everyone on their development journey.


With 27 years of experience as a business leader and executive, I understand the challenges you may face. Whether I'm coaching or consulting, that lens informs my perspective and I’m always an ally.
