Born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan, the core values of integrity, respect and kindness were instilled in me since birth. From a very young age, I found myself standing up for others, demanding they be treated with dignity and respect. Always inquisitive, yet unsure of how my life would unfold, I have known that my passion in life of empowering others would someday be used to serve a higher good. Constantly searching for the answers to a kinder, gentler universe, and a seeker of the truth, I consider myself to be a life long student and learner. As a certified Life Coach, consultant, corporate trainer and business executive, my primary focus and purpose in life is helping people discover, own and revel in their own greatness. Through my work, I specialize in empowering others to realize their true genius and their heart and soul’s desire. As an experiential learner, I offer a wealth of expertise and talent accumulated from a dynamic business career spanning 38 years, with management and senior leadership positions in operations, human resources and business integration for a major Fortune 500 corporation.
