Often, when I starting writing a summary of my background, it quickly becomes a trip down memory lane. I’ve been in different roles at several organizations in different industries for over twenty-five years. It’s good to look back and reflect sometimes. There’s much to be grateful for — and even more to learn from.

Although I began my professional career in accounting (tax and auditing in Big 5 at the time), I’ve spent much of the last decade focused on building relationships, leading teams, and strategically growing businesses. I’m fascinated by the psychology of marketing and enjoy tackling complex business problems that lead to operational improvement and positive net dollar impact. If an opportunity to increase efficacy or efficiency exists, I want to find the path of least resistance to it. I am a critical thinker searching for perspective — there’s always a better way.

A perpetual learner, who’s honing the ability to communicate and understand, I’m challenged to become a better version of myself every day. It’s not just a career for me. Every seat I sit in and role I play is an opportunity to leave a lasting impression and impact on those around me. As much as I enjoy developing creative solutions and helping businesses win, I find greater satisfaction still in empowering individuals to change the course of their lives — and by extension, the lives of others — for the better.
