A Window Into My World Day to Day
Before I seek out someone to work with personally or professionally, I like to get a window into their world. So here is my attempt to give you that glance at the inner-workings of my life currently: I am married with three kids, I lead multiple teams within my work life, and I rise early to allow a few moments of intentional quiet to start my day.
I give my best effort to the top priorities of my life, and I also know the elements of work-life and personal-life that are not the priority in this season. I accompany individuals in their personal and professional practices, and I set a high standard for my own rhythms and routines.
I live seasonally and intentionally with those closest to me, and while I am strategic with my priorities, I am always open to the changes and pivots that often bring the best elements of life to the forefront.
If any of these things resonate with you, I would love to explore working with you in this season.
My Organizational Development Experience
Professional Credentials:
– Master of Arts in Organizational Leadership
– 15 years of experience in Organizational Development, Strategic Planning, and Program Design for individuals, teams, and organizations
The thing I love most about Organizational Development is that you can apply its practices to so many areas of life: family, community groups, faith communities, volunteering, professional settings, and teams.
In my current season, I work to cultivate healthy, values-driven teams and departments where staff feel seen, supported, and equipped to grow. My leadership has focused on internal communication, employee engagement, team development, and creating innovative programs that prioritize whole-person flourishing — including staff appreciation, sabbaticals, and continuing education. I am incredibly fortunate to have walked alongside 25+ people who have now taken their very first Sabbatical.
My Soul Care + Spiritual Direction Experience
Alongside my work, I am also pursuing training in the area of Spiritual Direction and Soul Care. Over the past decade, the concept of Spiritual Formation and Soul Care have been primary areas of interest for me. During this time I have prioritized learning through books, conferences, and classes. There are so many rich resources available, wise people who have walked faith journeys before us, and it’s such a gift to be able to learn from them.
In addition to this level of study, I am also pursuing continuing education in this area. For the past few years I have been in a season of formation, learning to walk alongside others in sacred listening and discernment, while meeting with a Spiritual Director of my own.
And as of fall 2026, I am part of a one year Spiritual Direction training program through Denver Seminary in Littleton, Colorado. During this year-long program I will be sitting in Spiritual Direction courses, group practicums, supervision, and formation exercises.

Lighthearted things I enjoy
A few lighthearted things I enjoy are chaotic family dinners with our kids (with outlandish stories + overlapping jokes + kid chatter), poetry, entering into the world of art through paintings and sculpture, museums, libraries, writing, learning, and playful moments throughout the day
