About Me
Early in my career, I took a leap and joined the military. Within a couple years, I found myself leading a team of combat medics even though my medical expertise barely extended beyond wrapping a sprained ankle from pickup basketball. That challenge forced me to develop a different kind of strength: leadership grounded in trust, teamwork, and clarity - not technical know-how.Since then, I’ve led teams in the healthcare industry, trained clinicians on technology, and coached leaders to improve performance, engagement, and communication. Today, as Head of People & Culture at Artisan Learning, I help people give and receive meaningful feedback, solve problems with confidence, and grow into the leaders they’re meant to be.I coach with a calm, intentional, and supportive approach - helping new leaders build their confidence while staying grounded in who they are.I founded Forge & Flow Coaching to pass that experience on, especially to those stepping into leadership for the first time.
