Why do you like working with our clients?
I enjoy working with individuals from all different backgrounds as, most importantly, I love serving human beings in search of finding their own answers and becoming the best versions of themselves. I also enjoy hearing from clients that a training was pivotal for them & their teams. It’s such an honor to serve and witness this as a facilitator and coach.
What are some fun facts about you?
- I am still friends with my pen friend from middle school. Incredible!
- I won a ski trip (along with a snowboard) during a dance competition. I don’t even know how to ski!
- I did a freefall parachute jump from a plane and, in another life, I would have loved to train in this sport.
