I’m a longtime creative and U.S. Navy veteran based in Denver, Colorado, with a passion for developing leaders through the lens of creativity and interdisciplinary thinking.

I am pursuing a Doctorate in Interdisciplinary Leadership to develop rigorous frameworks that support individuals and organizations with clarity in times of change.

My work explores how people use creativity and self-leadership to navigate complexity and change—building the discernment, self-trust, and confidence needed to lead themselves effectively within their lives, organizations and communities.

I offer self-leadership development, facilitated workshops, and talks for individuals and organizations interested in thoughtful, grounded approaches to self-leadership and creative agency.
