About

I am a caring leader, supportive teammate, and expert consultant who is adept at growing talent while delivering strategic results. I am certified as a Coach and Mentor (level 7) through the Institute of Leadership and Management, a Lean Six Sigma Master Black Belt through Villanova University, and as a Change Practitioner through PROSCI. My background in leadership development, project management, finance, sales, and coaching for performance has given me a keen sense for analyzing data and sharing it in a simplified and understandable manner that can be used to improve individual and enterprise performance. I quickly build relationships of trust, and am skilled at developing strong leadership capabilities in others. I am able to identify and close communication gaps and drive continuous improvement initiatives. I enjoy volunteering with Junior Achievement, various church groups, and as a youth ice hockey coach.
