A passion to help people (in every way I possibly could) lead me into the full-time ministry for 8-years right out of undergraduate school. After the ministry I went on to get a MS in Training & Development and spent the next several years in training, coaching and selling positions within corporate organizations. From there I worked for two consulting companies, spent 4 years within academia and started my own coaching and training business while becoming an ICF certified coach. I then landed back within an award-winning training department for the largest HR services provider in the world, where I still work, along with running this coaching and training business.People tend to come to me, they say, because of my broad experience, deep passion for and skill at working with a wide variety of people, and an innate (and cultivated) emotional intelligence.
