What Moves Me
Family is at the heart of everything I do.
I met my husband in high school, and through the years, our relationship has reinforced the power of commitment, adaptability, and communication—values that are just as essential in leadership and coaching as they are in family life. As a parent, I have a son with special needs, and he’s taught me the true meaning of resilience, compassion, and love. My experiences as a mother have shaped my perspective and fueled my dedication to advocating for inclusion and empowerment, both personally and professionally. I also have a loyal canine companion who’s always ready for an adventure or a quiet moment by my side.
Miracle League North Bay
Giving back to my community is incredibly important to me. I’m proud to serve as President of the board for the Miracle League North Bay, a cause close to my heart. Through this role, I’ve had the privilege of founding, fundraising and building a $2.5 million inclusive ballfield and playground for children and adults with special needs. Watching players and their families experience the joy and connection the league brings is one of the most fulfilling parts of my life.
Hiking, Travel, Yoga & Art
When I’m not working, you’ll often find me on a hiking trail, practicing yoga, exploring a new destination, or immersed in a creative project. Hiking fuels my love for nature and adventure, offering space to reflect and recharge. Yoga helps me stay grounded, mindful, and centered, bringing balance to my busy life. I also have a deep love for art and painting, which allows me to express creativity and find inspiration. Traveling expands my perspective and feeds my curiosity, connecting me with new cultures and experiences. These pursuits bring me joy and inspire the calm, clarity, and insight I bring to my work with leaders and teams.
