I started my education career in the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District in the mid 90’s. After being a teacher, high school administrator, and assistant superintendent, I served as superintendent of schools from 2014 to 2021.

Over the course of 26 years in education, with 20 of those in administration, I came to recognize the diminishing returns of the competitive mindset I learned in my youth. I shifted my approach to building relationships and empowering highly functional teams to achieve results through collaboration and courageous conversations.

I believe in the power of embracing our humanity and bringing vulnerability and mindfulness to leadership. Creating spaces and facilitating activities that create connection and empower leaders and teams is transformational!

I’ve tested and curated activities to help individuals, partners and teams build trust, create connection, improve alignment, engage in self-care, establish boundaries, embrace creativity, and thrive in their organizations. I’ve watched people and teams transform as they improve relationships, shift mindsets, talk consciously about stressors, reframe beliefs, overcome obstacles, and meet challenges in new ways.

I’m excited to share my talents with you.
