More about me
I have expertise in project management, organization development, change management, performance management, psychological measurement and methodologies, and hold a Lean/Six Sigma Black Belt in quality and process improvement.
I live in Durango, Colorado with my husband and two daughters. I love being outdoors and breathing in the fresh air of the mountains - it gives me the biggest sense of freedom and expansion that I can get right now. My soul also needs regular access to the beach and a warm body of water to swim in. I enjoy hiking, camping, paddle boarding, playing with my kids, and escaping into a good book. I miss going to music festivals.
My parents provided a very supportive upbringing and continuously told me, through their words and behavior, that I could be anything that I wanted to be, do whatever I wanted to do, while achieving personal fulfillment and making the world a better place - I just needed to "design" the life I wanted to live. I held this to be the truth and was shocked when I began working in my first professional job and heard so many comments from more experienced professionals who felt "stuck" in their professional or personal life. Without even thinking about it, my response was always "OK, you're not happy. Why don't you find or create a new job that better aligns with your values?" They looked at me like I was both insane and naïve.
I have personally created four job titles for myself throughout my career. And, when I haven't created a new title, I have always been active in developing the job role I'm in to best suit my strengths and in a way that furthers the mission and goals of the organization. You can do this too.
I'm passionate about helping others to re-ignite fulfillment in current job roles, create opportunities for professional development and growth, and to move through career transitions. Life is too short to do work that doesn't light you up.
