My Experience

Meeting you where you are.

In 2011 I was clinically depressed, and suicidal.  One decision changed my trajectory and allowed me to be of service to others.  I had to ask for help in a system not designed for me.  That’s why I firmlly believe that the most important part of what I do is ensuring that I, and the teams I hire, meet people where they are. I’ve worked with many companies, and individuals on creating changes and as a project manager, creative and perspective shifter my varied experiences and ability to think outside the box helps me to continue to challenge those I work with to elevate themselves, their teams, or their businesses with solutions, resources, and trainings for any roadblock.

The Person behind the Party – Part One

The Person behind the Party – Part One

I could tell on the doorbell camera that it was something political.  The guy was dressed in bright red and navy shorts, and he had a dredded clip board. I opened the door to a “Trump 2024” hat.   Most of my good friends know that Trump is not my favorite person, and maybe some day I’ll get into the laundry list of nauseating issues I have with him or the laundry list I have against Biden… but, to say it gently I was immediately feeling uncomfortable around this person.
