About

Facilitating positive change within individuals, organizations and communities.

Experienced CEO, leader, & coach

My diverse career spans a start as a peer health educator, to practicing family law litigation, to a pivot to healthcare, including roles as a Director, a Compliance Officer, Chief Operating Officer and ultimately as the CEO of a $1.6B healthcare organization. This professional journey lends me unique insight into and understanding of the challenges of today’s leader and purpose-driven organizations.

My superpower is leveraging trust and clarity to yield meaningful results.

Strategy & Vision

My progression from staff to CEO honed my ability to balance mission with shrewd decision making, intellect with compassion, and big picture thinking with pragmatic, practical solutions. A key strength I bring is skill in developing trust, with individuals, teams, and partners. I leverage creativity to solve problems. I see what is within people and teams and guide them to leverage their strengths into success.

Personal Life

I am a devoted mom and wife, inspired by living near the ocean and the redwoods, and an avid reader with serious wanderlust. I believe in the resilience within each of us and the power of cohesive teams to achieve meaningful goals. Let’s illuminate your potential and kickstart your journey to positive change.
