What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities in dynamic environments that value employee well-being and growth.

I am a seasoned business consultant with 14 years of experience dedicated to driving impactful change within organizations. Currently, I operate my own Employee Assistance Program (EAP), where I leverage my expertise in psychometrics, coaching, neuroscience, fitness, wellness, and mindfulness to enhance employee well-being and performance. My strategic thinking and tenacity enable me to effectively address complex challenges and develop innovative solutions that foster positive transformations in employee, team, and leadership dynamics.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a remarkable ability to connect with others on a personal level, which allows me to gain valuable insights and drive meaningful change. My nurturing and empathetic approach to building relationships fosters seamless collaboration and trust with employees, teams, and leaders. With a proven track record of excellence and a passion for making a positive impact, I am well-positioned to contribute significantly to dynamic and growth-focused environments.
