My closest friend would describe me as:
FUN! My essence is fun, energy, connection, loyalty and conviction.
One belief that I have that influences my approach to coaching is:
Being fulfilled in any aspect of life requires fun and play!
One way I’ve challenged a norm or taken a leap in my life is:
I am consistently embracing adventure and throwing caution to the wind. Wanna try something new? I’m in.
I love taking on new challenges and adventures, both at work and outside of it. You can catch me in a variety of activities - showing up bravely & vulnerably in an improv class, sharing my conviction through pitching a business idea to investors in an accelerator program, submitting my application for the next season of The Great American Baking Show, building a piece of furniture or creating a piece of art. I definitely embrace my generalist over specialist path and go for Range.
My story:
Raised in the northern woods of Wisconsin, I am a country girl with no shoes on at heart and have been forest bathing from birth. I spent a lot of quality time with my parents and younger brother outside, creating and learning the ropes of a family business in forestry.
Fast forward a few years to where I fell in love with design and worked for all kinds of different organizations that piqued my interest - from creating engaging store experiences at Urban Outfitters and Trek to designing products and services at Kohler and Cigna. My passion is currently working with organizations who have a desire to make a positive social impact and design for equity and justice.
Today I live in Cincinnati with my husband Kellen and good boy Pluto. We love spending time outdoors, just not canoeing (asking me about that later). I am currently enjoying a project in which I am sketching portraits of family members and friends to create a wallpaper for our house.
My coaching style is:
