Professional History

My specialty is aligning business operations with strategic objectives. I excel at bringing teams together and facing them forward. I motivate multi-disciplinary teams, geographically distant teams, and teams with differing interests and styles to find common ground and common purpose. I am a trained mediator and an adaptive leader who is committed to collaboration, coaching, and communication. I can help your team(s) see the forest AND the trees. We'll set priorities, discover efficiencies, leverage individual talent, and get results.

I am a client-focused, results-oriented professional who values collaboration throughout the project lifecycle. I value diversity, and bring curiosity and consistency in my approach to client success, bringing positive outcomes for everyone involved.

I am an engaging and powerful workshop leader who has successfully partnered with business leaders to design and deliver targeted workshop content that increases employee engagement and effectiveness.
