About Work With Me
Book a Call

nice to meet you

I'm an artist at heart. My most joyful, creative and invigorating moments have happened in the studio. Walking into blank studio spaces to create something yet unseen remains one of my favorite things on planet earth.

I also spent 20 years in business.  Developing myself as a leader and coach helped me grow in ways I may not have otherwise. Seeing those I've mentored succeed brings me great joy.

At the same time, I always believed that those of us in positions of abundance have an obligation to be of service however we can. 15 years ago, I co-founded a public school in Tanzania with a mission of improving education equity there. That school is now ranked #1 academically with 100% graduation rates for 8+ years in a row. The ripple effect has been a lesson in humility. 

Integrating what I've learned in these different spaces in order to support you and the impact you are called to make is what drives my work today.

There is profound wisdom in artistic process. But we've separated "the arts" from "professional work" as if they're a different species. As if the process that helps a dancer create choreography has nothing to teach the executive trying to navigate a career pivot.

Turns out our best work happens when all the parts of ourselves get to say 'yes, and.'  You deserve to feel lit up that way, too! 

You get to be goal-oriented and creative.

Purposeful and playful.

Strategic and significant.

That's where our work together begins.

NON-PROFIT FOUNDER 

Friends of Kisimani School is a registered 501(c)3 that supports education development in Tanzania. What started in 2011 as a grassroots effort has grown into something pretty amazing.  

We started with two goals: build a public school for a neglected community, and teach in English to offer equal opportunity education.  (Public primary schools teach in Swahili.  Private schools teach in English.  However, everyone is expected to learn in English in secondary school.)   

Today, over 1,700 students each year attend what's now the #1 academically ranked school in the entire region. The community in Mkonoo village no longer has to send their youngest children on 7-11 kilometer walks to the nearest public school.  What's more, our local non-profit partner, Education Progress Initiatives is poised to bring their progressive teacher trainings to nearly 2,000 teachers by 2029, doing our part to eradicate corporal punishment and share the academic success of student-centered learning.

That's impact that matters, and that our whole team is extremely proud of.
