I love creative problem solving, using my wisdom, intuition, and varied art forms to support self-awareness, growth and well-being.

I am sensitive to patterns, energy in individuals and groups and enjoy designing bespoke solutions to engage and inspire people.

Let’s create something remarkable together.

Work Background

My career has spanned the higher education, for-profit, non-profit, and philanthropic sectors. This have given me a unique and diverse perspective on the experience of work and workplace culture.

I have held roles in student services, employee development, human resources, talent and organization development, and more. As a practitioner and consultant, my work is inspired by the research and frameworks of positive organization psychology, art and movement, mindfulness, emotional intelligence, appreciative inquiry, and applied improvisation.

I am constantly learning and evolving my practice. I appreciate multi-disciplinary approaches, particularly ones that incorporate the arts, and the unique solutions that can be created.
