What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters collaboration, innovation, and impactful change in organizational effectiveness.

I am an experienced leader and change agent with over 20 years in coaching, culture building, and client positioning for success. My expertise lies in designing bespoke, data-driven curricula for diverse instructional settings, and I excel in public speaking, project management, and facilitating high-performance outcomes.

Throughout my career, I have identified critical needs in education and engaged local government staff in custom equity learning opportunities, resulting in over 250 staff completing programs. I have developed training and coaching curricula that significantly improved communication among staff, achieving a 75% self-reported success rate. My commitment to defined success outcomes is evident in my ability to streamline processes and secure new clients through clarity and targeted strategies.
