Break free from the routine
and step into the extraordinary.
After a 20-year corporate career, I transitioned to a career in higher education, instructing business courses. Following a desire to more fully meld my business background with higher education, I earned my Educational Leadership Ph.D. in August 2019, having researched transitions and emerging adults (think young adults), exploring how to successfully support students throughout college and early career life transitions.
Beyond a career as an instructor in higher education, it is my desire to support and encourage others. In pursuit of this calling, I began consulting in 2013. But my inner voice continued speaking to me, challenging me to do more, and has revealed itself beyond any dream I had previously dared to dream. Throughout 2020, I focused on re-framing consultants, expanding upon my passion for mentoring and nurturing of others. I enrolled in the Sedona Women’s Institute Facilitator Training program and launched my retreat business, Circle of Self Discovery.
