My Story
Throughout my 25+ years as an occupational therapist, educator, lobbyist, nonprofit founder, and executive leader, I've learned that meaningful activism isn't about grand gestures—it's about strategic action that fits your life and leverages your distinct position to create change.
As a systems thinker, I help professionals pinpoint where change is most possible, identify concrete actions, and build sustainable advocacy practices that don't require sacrificing your health or well-being. My occupational therapy lens brings a holistic perspective: activism should enhance your life, not drain it.
My professional path has taken me through healthcare, K-12 and higher education, national associations, policy development, and the halls of government as a registered lobbyist. I've learned that the most effective activists aren't necessarily the loudest voices—they're strategic thinkers who understand systems and know how to move the levers of change from wherever they sit.
Who I Work With
My clients are professionals who want to be more than bystanders. They're educators advocating for systemic change, healthcare workers fighting for patient rights, and leaders who refuse to accept "we've always done it this way." They seek meaningful ways to contribute and have the courage to walk their talk—by lifting others up, not pushing others down.
What We'll Do Together
I'll help you identify where your influence can create the most impact, develop strategic approaches to advocacy, build sustainable activism practices, navigate organizational systems effectively, and translate passion into concrete action.
My Commitment
This is your journey, and I'm privileged to be part of it. I'm committed to being your partner, creating a safe and supportive environment, and nudging you out of your comfort zone where growth awaits you.
