As a consultant and coach, I am passionate about bridging the gaps between organizational objectives and talent. I bring both experience and insights to help leaders be successful utilizing coaching, group process facilitation, workshops, and assessments. I have extensive experience as a 360 Coach for C-suite through high level individual contributors (engineering, manufacturing, sales, operations, and marketing professionals.)

I always meet you where you are at. I work with integrity, fairness and clear communication.
