I'm passionate about

Plain & simple - I am passionate about supporting others as they become who are want to be. For 15 years college basketball was the platform I used to empower females to embrace the changes and challenges that come with being a college athlete striving to become a great person and a great player. I have expanded that passion to leaders across all industries. My smile grows, my heart warms and I am passionate about supporting and empowering leaders at all junctures of their journey elevate themselves to make the impact they strive for.

Things you might not know

A little know talent of mine is I am fairly good at playing the piano! Years of lessons as a kid, followed by many more years of traveling and not owning a piano, most people just don't know! I was thrilled to inherit my grandmother's piano which now lives in my office!
