About

For more than 15 years, I’ve honed my craft of strategy development, operational planning, and talent maximization for purpose-driven enterprises.

As I look to the next half of my career, I’m looking for a purpose-driven company where I can contribute my experience in strategy, people and business operations and change leadership.

My Perspective on Leadership

I am energized by the challenges and opportunities that come with being in a position of influence. My leadership journey has afforded me the opportunity to grow in tremendous ways and make a deep impact. Leadership requires me to lean into discomfort, manage tensions between opposing forces and build connections with diverse audiences — all to drive bold results.

My Leadership Superpowers:

  • I have honed the art of curiosity to make the impossible realistic.

  • I model authenticity and vulnerability to build effective teams

  • I lead at multiple altitudes with both a strategic and an operational mindset.

My Professional Background:

I have used those leadership superpowers at REI, K2 Sports (now Elevate Outdoor Collective), and Modern Adventure. I’ve built and managed complex, multi-million dollar budgets and led significant transformation efforts to support scale, growth, and the employee experience. I thrive wearing multiple hats and consider myself an jack-of-all-trades.

I am a seasoned people leader with experience leading remote and in-person teams as large as 150+ or as small as seven. With my passion for employee development, I’ve promoted, coached and mentored countless team members and built team culture based on empathy, resilience, and excellence.

My Next Path: Seeking a Purpose-Driven Company

I’m looking for opportunities with purpose-driven companies who want to drive business results by upleveling operations and people strategy. I am a builder, a change leader and a transformer. I want to contribute to the growth of a company that isn’t afraid to tackle challenging problems, has high standards for performance and understands the value of employee engagement and DEIB to to deliver strategic goals.

One Million Leaders Project

I am fascinated by the role good leadership plays to improve our daily lives, to dismantle systems of oppression, and to help us all see and appreciate our humanity. In 2022, I set a personal, 15-year goal to help one million people become better leaders. That goal is a thread through everything I do, not just my working life. It will show up in my next leadership position, it shows up in my family and it shows up through my speaking, coaching and consulting.

Beyond the Career

I am life-long community builder, dedicated to giving back and creating avenues for people to connect and flourish. I have volunteer experience in civic leadership, environmental stewardship, youth education and outdoor adventure programs. In 2023, I founded Snoqualmie Valley Women in Leadership - a local community organization to help local women leaders connect, learn and grow.

I get my best ideas spending time in nature hiking, backpacking, kayaking, mountain biking, walking, reading, writing, thinking or connecting with others. My husband and I love taking our two little girls on adventures in the Pacific Northwest where we live. My two girls were counted as the first two members of my one-million-leaders goal. They are the next generation of leaders.
