ABOUT
ME
Passionate About Your Success
I really enjoy working with teams throughout an organization to help them be as successful as possible. In a family business that takes additional sensitivity and awareness to be able to facilitate positive changes in a way that preserves and enhances the best of a company's culture and history.
I have a very broad educational and work experience background. I bring all of that perspective to each project in which I am engaged. I believe the best consulting outcomes occur when I can share my experiences and expertise with your teams so that they can continue to improve long after I have gone.
