Hello! I'm a Southern California and Las Vegas-based organizational consultant and executive coach, driven by a passion for helping individuals and organizations not just survive, but thrive. I see myself as a thought partner and guide, ready to tackle challenges, achieve goals, and navigate the unknowns with you.
My journey in Corporate America has taken me across a myriad of industries—from Fortune 500 giants to healthcare, biotech, defense, government, logistics, professional sports, entertainment, and education. Each experience has enriched my approach and deepened my understanding of what it takes to excel in various environments.
My Unique Twist:
When I'm not guiding professionals, I'm channeling my expertise into helping the formerly incarcerated, better known at Defy Ventures as "entrepreneurs-in-training." I assist them in brainstorming unique and feasible business ideas that they can bring to life upon reentry into society. Rehabilitation and education for at-risk populations is a passion of mine, as these two factors can reduce recidivism (re-entry) rates and better the lives of individuals.
Scholarly Adventures:
My dedication to social betterment also led me to delve into the lived experiences of Syrian refugees during my doctoral studies. I've had the honor of presenting my research at the London School of Economics Middle East Centre and the International Political Science Association’s 25th World Congress on Borders and Margins.
Beyond the Office:
When it's time to unwind, you can find me on my next adventure—whether that's exploring a new country, working out, or taking my adorable Aussie on her beloved car rides and walks. I also love hiking national parks and testing my green thumb against the Nevada heat.
Let's connect and explore how we can overcome challenges, achieve your goals, and create a thriving environment together!
