​ In the fall of 2021, after a successful twenty-plus year career in marketing and brand experience leadership, facing exhaustion and burnout head-on, I joined the great reassessment. Seeking a significant life reset, my family and I traded the city of Columbus, Ohio, for the mountains of Western North Carolina. This bold move sparked a journey of self-discovery and renewal.

During my sabbatical, I immersed myself even further in my passion for understanding human behavior and personal growth. With a PhD in sociology, focusing on social psychology, throughout my career I've applied people-centered insights to drive progress for clients and organizations. Now, I've come to realize that my true calling lies in being a catalyst for social change. My mission is to amplify the voices of employees, fostering fresh perspectives and inspiring actions that redefine the workplace experience.

As I step into this new chapter, I’m thrilled to join the Five to Flow Collective, where we share a deep commitment to reshaping workplace dynamics. I firmly believe that empathy and curiosity are key to fostering cultures of inclusion and trust. In these environments, employees succeed, and customer relationships flourish on foundations of respect and partnership. With a focus on prioritizing people and creating exceptional workplace experiences, I see Five to Flow as the ideal partner for realizing this vision. Together, we have the opportunity to redefine work in a time of change, where a human-centric approach isn't just valuable but essential for people and organizations to thrive.
