ABOUT ME

Like many of you, I am on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation. I was raised by a community who taught me the power of building meaningful relationships to help guide us through life. With a background and experience in Positive (Strengths) Psychology and a passion and curiosity for people,  I have always been fascinated by human behavior. Ever since I was little, I have wanted to help people; help them recognize their unique potential and celebrate their authentic self. We experience approximately 20,000 individual moments every day and I believe a majority of those moments include people who influence our development and our journey. It's been the people who have positively impacted my life that have inspired me to  say "yes" to supporting and encouraging others to discover and share their truth.

In 2014, I discovered CliftonStrengths, a tool that identifies our unique potential, and how I viewed myself completely changed. Becoming a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach has allowed me to create environments that recognize, develop, and celebrate the unique gifts of people. Through one-on-one coaching, workshop facilitation, guiding productive team conversations, and presenting, I have worked with over 3,000 individuals to maximize their CliftonStrengths to increase performance, engagement, and personal well-being. 

​

We all have a story and sharing that story allows us to build connection: "Connection is why we're here; it’s what gives purpose and meaning to our lives"(Brené Brown). Through creating space for meaningful connection, I hope to guide others along their own journey of self-discovery, connection, and designing a well-lived life and career.

"Life isn't about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself."​
