I am passionate about fostering mental health that helps teams perform under pressure.

I am driven to help people use performance psychology principles to improve their lives! After nearly 20 years as a sport and performance psychologist, I’ve learned that high performance is not only a set of tools but a way of being that we bring to everything we do. Yet, in several high performing industries, we’re behind in taking action on mental health—and in some ways I get it because how we’ve talked about mental health in these spaces doesn’t consider important nuances of high performance.

Fortunately, the message I share is informed by two decades of experience within several demanding industries that also have high mental health stigma including healthcare, higher education, and collegiate and professional sport (including collision sports, such as football and ice hockey). I’m also from a family of rural farmers, so my message is designed to reach even the most skeptical audience members! You can simply trust that what I have to say will reach the high performers on your team.

I’m a passionate and enthusiastic speaker (who might talk too fast at times) and am skilled at translating important concepts into practical strategies that you can immediately use. (You can thank my herding rescue dogs for helping me streamline my communication strategies!)

I have a PhD in Clinical Psychology, am a Certified Mental Performance Consultant® (CMPC), and am a Licensed Psychologist, specializing in high performing populations. I am the Founder and CEO of Haugen Performance Consulting, a firm that provides education, training, and performance psychology solutions for sport organizations, corporations, and professionals. I've held a variety of positions including the Director of Mental Health and Performance Psychology at a Division I NCAA member institution and former Board member (2017-2019) and Past-President (2018-2019) of the North Dakota State Board of Psychologist Examiners (NDSBPE).

Throughout my career, I have actively involved in training the next generation of healthcare leaders. I am an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology at the University of North Dakota and former faculty member at the Altru Family Medicine Residency (2016-2020). I continue providing mental health and performance psychology training to sports medicine fellows in physical therapy, athletic training students, and graduate students in clinical and counseling psychology. In 2023, I was also awarded the prestigious Jack Weakley Award of Distinction from the National Athletic Trainers' Association (NATA) for lifetime contributions to athletics, athletic training, and sports medicine, and I am the first mental health professional to receive this award.

Hi, I’m SK - CTO of InzpireU, Technology Innovator, and a lifelong believer in the power of mentorship to humanize learning.

With over two decades of experience at the intersection of engineering, AI, and digital transformation, my journey has always been guided by one core principle: Technology should amplify human potential, not replace it.

Why InzpireU?

InzpireU was born out of a bold vision - to make learning deeply personal, purposeful, and human again. In a world overwhelmed with content and chaos, we’re building a new kind of learning platform: AI-powered, but mentor-driven. One that champions accountability, guided growth, and impact.

Our mission?
To help people, especially those from underrepresented communities, not just learn more, but learn meaningfully - through mentorship, community, and personalized accountability.

My Tech Origin Story

Back in 2003, when AI was still a distant buzzword, I developed a neural network model for early cancer detection. It was personal. It was ahead of its time. And it gave me my first taste of how AI could change lives - not just systems. That experience became my blueprint for building tech with a soul.

From Engineer to Ecosystem Builder

Today, as a fractional technology leader, I help startups and purpose-driven organizations craft AI and data strategies that are scalable, ethical, and aligned with business impact. My sweet spot? Turning bold ideas into executables, and vision into value - all while staying rooted in the human experience.

Recognitions & Milestones:

🏛 Recognized by the DC Capitol for pioneering a mentorship-based learning model
🧠 Patent pending for our AI-powered goal accountability framework
📰 Featured as an AI Champion by Daily News Network
🎙 Interviewed on multiple tech and innovation podcasts for my work on AI with purpose

Beyond the Title

At heart, I’m an engineer. But my true calling is impact. Whether it’s mentoring non-tech women entrepreneurs through LaunchWise, or building community-based learning models with InzpireU, I believe in building technology that cares - and shares.

Let’s build a world where growth is human-first, learning is goal-driven, and mentorship is a way of life.
