My superpowers are developing emotionally-intelligent leaders and revolutionizing organizational cultures into the most profitable asset. I have a proven track record of authenticating company values to impact employee engagement, efficiency in systems, and rapid growth of bottom line.

I founded Wayfinders Coaching & Consulting after spending over a decade in operations management and people leadership in high-performance organizations. I've worked cross-functionally in HR, business development, change management and learning and development, and across many industries--from higher education, food service, and retail--to DEI consulting.

Now I offer coaching, training, consulting, and thought-partnership for individuals and teams seeking to build these skills.

I work with an incredibly diverse team of practitioners, with go-to methodologies that include critical HROD, change management frameworks, emotional intelligence (EQ-i), intercultural development (IDI), systems audits, and cultural assessments.

I live on the Little Feminist Farm just outside of Atlanta, where we enjoy sustainable homesteading and host holistic wellness workshops and sanctuary retreats.
