Elected in 2001, I work every day assisting residents in crisis to "Compassionately challenging Zion residents to overcome hardships and encourage positive life changes."

My passion is assisting others in creating the life they dream of but don't believe they could ever have. Certified by the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching and Accredited thru the International Coaching Federation, I consider myself a life long learner and continue to seek out best practices and ways to help my clients live a life they love in the shortest time possible, as life is short and there is no time to waste! Most impactful is utilizing the Energy Leadership Index Assessment to laser focus areas that create blockages to success, offering maximum feasible impact of time and money. I also have extensive training in the 12 step recovery process. Contact me if you are looking for guidance and support in growth, transformation, personal development, finding your purpose, tapping into your passion, conflict resolution, building relationships, team building, leadership development, goal setting and achieving, and/or quality recovery from addiction.
