ABOUT ME

Experience

I am a strengths-based manager with 7 years of experience hiring, training, and evaluating direct reports. I have 10+ years of experience facilitating workshops and training on topics ranging from exciting (sexual health) to... less exciting (health insurance benefits). For the last 2 years, I've been a small business manager wearing every hat you can think of.
