I am a leader, coach, consultant, and facilitator, dedicated to cultivating strength, agility, and growth through every season of development. I walk alongside individuals as they plant seeds in the spring of new beginnings, tend their growth through the vibrant energy of summer, adapt and harvest wisdom through introspection in the autumn of change, and rest and restore in the quiet stillness of winter. With a keen eye for emerging potential, I create spaces where growth is intentional, roots run deep, and thriving becomes a natural rhythm — not a race, but a lifelong cycle of tending, flourishing, and becoming. Guided by care and vision, I help strengths take root, confidence bloom, and transformation unfold – season after season.

 

My journey of growth and discovery has unfolded like the seasons of a garden, each chapter nurturing the next. With a Master’s and Doctorate in leadership development and a long career as an educational leader, cultivating potential in people and processes has been my guiding purpose. In 2019, I embarked on a new season of learning, training as a Dare to Lead™ facilitator for Brené Brown’s transformative leadership program. This fresh chapter brought the opportunity to plant the seeds of leadership development within a healthcare organization, where new ideas began to bloom. As the garden of my work continued to evolve, I felt called to deepen my practice. I became an executive coach, training with the Hudson Institute of Coaching, where a transformative experience sparked new growth and opened doors to possibilities yet unseen. With each season, the roots of my passion for leadership and growth have only grown stronger, reaching deeper into the soil of what’s possible.

 

Rooted in the breathtaking landscapes of Central Oregon, I draw inspiration from the natural world around me — from the rhythms of my garden to the steady strength of my family. These deep connections fuel my grounded, balanced approach to life and work. Just as a garden flourishes through seasons of growth, I am committed to continuous learning and development, nurturing the seeds of possibility in every opportunity. With each step, I aim to make a positive and lasting impact, tending to the growth of those I serve, and helping them thrive through every season of their journey.
