About Me
Speaker, consultant, writer, and, most importantly, a wife and mother of three amazing kids
ABOUT:
Hi everyone! I’m a connector. Every relationship is a gift. Thank you for the opportunity to get to know you and to learn something from you. My hope is that I leave people and places better than when I found them.
I work with business leaders who want to boost employee buy-in, belonging, and collaboration so that you can build productive teams to take your organization to new heights.
Originally from Wisconsin, I have lived in England, North Dakota, and served 16 months of active duty in Kuwait and Iraq as a Military Police officer in the Army National Guard. I LOVE to read, enjoy the outdoors, and spend copious amounts of time with my lovely family and wonderful friends.

A Woman’s Perspective: My time at war and the lessons I learned
The Power of Moving from Me to We: From the battlefield to business consulting – How to build better teams and be the best version of yourself

HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

I have spoken locally, nationally, and internationally on subjects including leadership, teamwork, and collaboration.
