Experience
I’ve had the opportunity to gain perspective from many vantage points across retail, technology, healthcare, telecommunications, and financial services industries in the last 15+ years. I’ve worked with individuals, small businesses in my community, and big brands like Nike and Columbia Sportswear Company. These diverse experiences have taught me the practical applications of many strategies, methodologies, frameworks, and best practices.

In a world bursting with multi-passionate professionals who blur titles and passions, I believe we can embrace the vibrant spectrum of who we are. So, I’m also an entrepreneur, adventurer, van lifer, creative, artist, author, lifelong learner, fashion enthusiast … the list goes on.
Entrepreneur
I’m the proud founder of Statement Co., an independent consultancy generating transformational growth through creative sense making — strategy, operations, brand, communications, and change management — humanized by storytelling. I love building teams to help individuals, small businesses, and big brands shape stories that build strategy, simplify complexities, unite teams, inspire action, and share value.
Adventurer
Adventure is in my DNA. While I was a military kid born abroad, I would call a small town off the Puget Sound in Washington State my hometown. I grew up on the family origin stories, traditions, and foods of being Italian, French Canadian, British, and Scottish. I am obsessed with exploring the National Parks, wineries, and communities in the Pacific Northwest in our camper van. Travel is a way for me to explore nature, culture, fashion, art, design, music, and food that challenges beliefs, boundaries, and comfort zones.
Artist
I began as a creative. I took my first ballet class at 4 years old and spent summers from ages 6-16 in all-day camps learning global dances, history, music, and French. I picked up watercolors for the first time in 2019 while rehabilitating a traumatic brain injury. My paintings are an expression of life experiences, emotion, and beauty through an abstract lens.
Author
I wrote a book just for fun. As a chronic yes person, I needed to learn how to say no. So, I wrote about it. And now I help others say no (with joy and humor). The book No Is Sexy: A Business & Life Guide to Saying No is about expanding the vocabulary and strategic tactics in the sphere of no to get to more authentic conversations, greater work-life balance, and ultimately business and life goals.
Oregonian
I live in the Pacific Northwest with my partner and furry rescues. On any given day, you can find me connecting with my favorite, like-minded leaders in coffee shops, boutiques, and restaurants around the community. We are so proud and grateful for our supportive community around us.
