How I help . . .

I connect the dots between strategic and tactical initiatives and assist in developing a culture of continuous improvement. This allows clients to meet their goals by creating more efficient processes and empowering their teams to excel in project execution.

I collaborate with my clients to identify their challenges, develop solutions to those challenges and obtain consensus from the team that the solutions are appropriate. My superpower is that I’m able to provide current-state solutions that offer a quick return on investment, while identifying and working towards future solutions at the same time.

Yoga, meditation, gardening and music
What makes you unique?
I'm unique because I have several interests and pursue them all. I'm eclectic in my hobbies and what I read, cook and listen to. I don't fit into one genre or category.
What inspires you?
My family, nature and anyone who's overcome challenges to achieve their dreams.
What is your favorite/least favorite word and why?
My favorite word is optimism. There is always something positive in a negative experience. At times you have to dig for it, but it's there.
