Current: Comes alongside leaders to reveal the talent they already possess. Builds capacity in leaders through self-awareness, expanding perspectives, and tough decision-making. Advocate for championing goals and personal breakthrough. Evocative question-asker. If you don’t feel like pushing back a bit, I may not be working hard enough.
Past: Former Director of Education for a professional military education center who cultivated leadership development in non-commissioned officers. Airfield manager for a forward operating base in the Middle East in support of multi-national military operations. Coached military recruiters to leverage mental toughness and resilience to improve their performance under pressure.

Future: Will travel the world between teaching workshops for the middle school and high school students who want to learn to sew—because it’s my jam!
