About Me:

When given the advice "leave them how you found them", I walk towards the chaos to do just the opposite. It's always been a natural affinity of mine to bring order to things, empower others around me, and ultimately leave my environment better off than when I arrived.

I am a Strategic Design Consultant and public speaker with 8+ years of product management, change management, strategic design facilitation, and business model innovation experience. My clients and project backgrounds include Fortune 500 organizations, small businesses, and nonprofits. Through my work, I offer lessons and methods on how to tackle complex business problems while creating lasting impact.

I am a recent TEDxPhiladelphia speaker and hold an M.B.A. in Strategic Design Thinking from Thomas Jefferson University. Throughout my career of facilitating change, she has seen time and time again that change only happens at the intersection of discomfort and urgency. With that observation, I have facilitated projects to re-create that catalytic moment to foster innovation.

My curiosity is sparked when challenges are big and the reward is even greater. Beyond business and social innovation, I’ve applied my discipline of strategic design and systems thinking toward technology development. I am skilled in translating human-centric needs to the design of technical or project-based solutions.  

My mission is to change the world through business and action. I see that there is a huge need in changing the way we educate and encourage each other. I believe there's more at work when we communicate with one another and I'm committed to improving the way we live and tell our stories. I am a change maker in the making.
