She draws on her strong management and consulting background to help companies identify and foster high-quality individuals who will have the greatest impact and lead them to greater success.

Every person is a living story with a chapter that defines the arc of their overall life experience more than the others. I’m passionate about helping people find that key chapter and unlock their true potential.
