For over 20 years I have worked with small and mid-sized businesses, non-profit organizations, schools and associations. I am passionate about helping clients define what the right health plan for their business is. I begin with the perspective that it is foolish to pay for benefits that employees don’t appreciate or use. My definition of a good plan is one that covers the benefits that employees use. I believe that many employers overpay for benefits, thinking that more coverage means better coverage. The truth is employees don’t appreciate what they don’t use and employers just waste their money.

Over the past few years I have made many changes to my life: my location, occupation, education and personal values. I am constantly growing in my life and becoming the person I want to be. I have been so fortunate to have help from professors, colleagues, family members and friends along my way. As I became more independent in my own life, I started to worry about all the other women out there who might be facing the same challenges I faced. Maybe they are just starting out their adult-lives or maybe they are ready for a Major Life Change. Regardless of their situation, these women should have someone to go to; someone who has had to face change and choice head-on; someone who can provide them with a helping hand and valuable resources.

I love helping people make things work better and revel in doing this every day. What I do best to that purpose is synthesize experiences & stories into goals, actions and systems. From those elements, I generate new stories to translate the aspirations people have for themselves, for their organizations and for our communities into manageable action plans with strong results. I work with client partners to find the best way for them to make a sustainable launch and stay with them until the new approach, system or product is stable. Such an open goal needs a deep understanding of a broad range of subjects and a lot of skills in the tool box. Clients have called me a "deep generalist," and a "responsive catalyst."

The love of performing began for me at a very young age. I always wanted to be an actress or a big Broadway star. However, when I got to NYC, I took a left at Broadway and found myself in children’s theatre.
