“How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live! Methinks that the moment my legs begin to move, my thoughts begin to flow.”
Life is meant to be lived. I’ve been lucky enough to have the opportunity to venture the world and work for some great organizations all the way from global retail corporations, construction crews in Nome, Alaska, to travel and sustainability with the Adventure Travel Trade Association. I earned the rights to a ColdStone Creamery and started my own baking business in Melbourne, Australia.
My un-ending pursuit of adventure and new experiences has granted me the chance to meet many fascinating people, learn through trial and error from the school of life. I use my advanced degrees and work experience to maintain an open-minded, critical eye to identify issues and develop solutions. That means seeing systemically, creating trust-filled conversations, seeing behind what’s being said, responding to needs, and championing adoption.
Below are snapshots to illustrate my professional and personal experiences.
