People, place, and purpose - that's it - that's how we grow organizations that support people finding joy in their work and lives. I'm a highly-skilled, critical thinking, team-focused well-being executive leader that values creativity, collaboration, and innovation in developing systems, strategies, and programs to improve associate, health, well-being, and joy of work through connection, empowerment, enterprise alignment, and cross-functional relationships. I aim to create a thriving organizational culture where people feel CONNECTED, improve CARING for themselves and others, make CONTRIBUTIONS to their community, and explore their CREATIVITY. With over 25 years of experience in wellness, my passion lies in the evolving nature of wellness, its interaction with the human experience, and how organizations can improve joy by enhancing their wellness cultures.
