A Little Bit About Me:

I am

A first generation American, wife of 40+ years to Ken, Mom to Heather and Matthew, and Grandma to three adorable and smart little boys.

I enjoy

Reading, photography, local high school sports, good movies, time at the lake, a good Chardonnay and almost any dessert.

I try

To eat healthy, walk daily, listen carefully, and enjoy this life I am blessed to live.

I hope

Someday we'll all realize that our diversity - of culture, thought, gender, ability, race, etc., - is not a threat but, rather, what makes us great.

What I Do:

Elevate Emerging Leaders

Lead and Live With Authenticity

Elevate Emerging Leaders

Organizations count on front line leaders to carry out the corporate mission on a day-to-day basis. Yet, often, these leaders are the least prepared to do so.

I will help develop your emerging leaders so they can effectively meet this challenge.

Focus on Effectiveness

Lead and Live With Authenticity

Elevate Emerging Leaders

Effectiveness is what shapes the success of a team or a process. Doing a task efficiently - quickly and with the least amount of energy - does not necessarily create long term success.

I will work with your team to review processes for effective outcomes to meet your goals.

Lead and Live With Authenticity

In all things, I commit to truth delivered from the heart. You and your team can always count me as an integrious partner who will listen, probe, and help you uncover excellence.

I will support you and your team on the road to discovery and results.
