Adventure is Key
Adventure has always been my greatest teacher. I’ve bungee-jumped in New Zealand, surfed in Ecuador, skydived at 14,000 feet, run and hiked in multiple states and countries, and built a nonprofit and 2x companies from the ground up. Every leap taught me something about leadership like how to trust the harness, breathe through fear, read the terrain, and keep moving when the path isn’t clear. Those same lessons guide the way I coach and speak today. At my core, I am an adventurer at heart and a guide by design. I help people navigate their own “edges” with clarity, confidence, and courage because growth is always an adventure, and you deserve a guide who’s actually walked the trail.
Life outside my career
When I’m not speaking, coaching, or working with clients, you can find me outdoors with my husband, Marc, our two Labrador retrievers, Denver and Jackson and our son Lucas. Together, we enjoy exploring nature and living a balanced life that fuels my passion for helping others achieve their own goals and aspirations. Between them, my faith, family and friends, I count my blessings everyday.
