About me
SPEAKER | WORKPLACE REINVENTION STRATEGIST
I come from a family of carpenters, plumbers, and mechanics and grew up wet sanding cars after school. In my earlier career, I ran my own business building sets for large events and film. My husband and I have also renovated several houses over the past 15 years. So, I understand the stresses the come along with deadlines, client demands & getting the job done according to plan.
I went back to school to study law and became an attorney, which I thought would provide a better life for me and my family. But I struggled with working in an office full time (I like being on location) as well as balancing work demands and personal needs. It wasn’t the right fit for me; YES, I ended up with Disgruntled Worker Syndrome and eventually an anxiety disorder.
As a result, I decided to go back to an industry I love and apply my lived experience to help people feel better and empower leaders to build workplace mental health in an industry that is near and dear to me heart!
As a speaker and workplace reinvention strategist I use my life and professional experiences as an employment law and risk management attorney to help business leaders improve mental health in their businesses and their crews.
