About Me
I grew up Queer and Mormon with divorced parents, navigating complexity before I had the words for it. Around our kitchen table, conversations ran deep—politics, relationships, mental health, faith—and always circled back to the people behind the issue.
That upbringing gave me two things: the ability to hold space between conflicting perspectives, and the belief that the personal is powerful. It showed me that real change happens when people feel seen, safe, and valued.
Today, those lessons have become my life’s work. As a strategist, coach, and culture-builder, I partner with leaders and organizations to design environments where people can thrive. My work is guided by five core values:
1. Collective Courageous Authenticity
Showing up fully, embracing honesty and vulnerability—even when it challenges the system. How we show up shapes the world we create.2. People Before Profit
Transformation happens when leaders nurture over extract, care over control, and organizations value humanity before profit. Healthy cultures are the foundation of sustainable success.3. Systems Change from the Personal
True systems change starts with those the system was never built for—they hold the wisdom to rebuild it for everyone. Psychological safety is a right, not a privilege.4. Joy as Strategy
Rest, play, and delight aren’t optional—they’re the golden thread connecting innovation, resilience, and human connection. Protecting people’s capacity for joy is as intentional as building the business itself.5. Nature as Teacher
We design like ecosystems: abundant, adaptive, and interconnected. Nothing in nature operates at 100%, 100% of the time—people shouldn’t be expected to, either.
