About Me
My passion is helping others to identify a vision of their best possible life through creative thinking; at home, work, in relationships and communities. This passion is a result of working with teams and organizations using person-centered approaches for over 30 years.

Whats important to me
Working with people who want to support others to have the best life possible.
Create learning opportunities for others that promote positive control.
Opportunities to connect with others to learn, share, and grow.
Having self-care and family time so I am at my best when at work.
How to best support me
I appreciate immediate and honest feedback, applied gently as a mentor, in a 1:1 setting. NEVER in a group. Start with “Have you considered….” or “May I share with you how I would do this?” etc.
I love being a part of rich conversations that are communicated clearly so I can understand the outcome expected of me. Put expectations in writing when possible and provide deadlines.
I thrive best in a supported environment where I feel psychologically safe to learn, share, and grow.
Celebrate with me! I get excited when we learn from each other.
If I need to learn something new, show me. I am a visual learner.
Please honor my scheduled time off; such as, holidays and vacations. I need the time to reset!
Know that I am deaf in my right ear and have some loss in my left ear. Try not to get frustrated with me if I do not hear you or ask you to repeat things to me. Do not worry about offending me when ensuring I heard what is said. Laugh with me when my hearing loss creates the opportunity to add humor.
I can be terribly forgetful when under extreme amounts of stress. Do not be afraid to remind me if there is anything I need to do.
