Partner, Northwest Arkansas Office
My professional journey has been defined by one mission: “Helping individuals, leaders, and teams thrive in their roles and relationships”. Over the past decade, I’ve honed this focus through diverse experiences across several industries.
I began my working career in the retail coffee industry. I progressed from Director of Retail Coffee to Director of Sales where I built relationships with wholesale customers and led a sales team during a period of rapid growth. This experience prepared me to step into the seafood industry, where I deepened my account management experience and collaborated with retailers across the country to reach their category goals. My background extends to the retail brokerage space in analytics for Walmart and Sam’s Club accounts. During my time there, my passion for understanding and developing talent in organizations continued to grow and was ignited when I stepped onto the People & Culture team at a travel nursing agency. At this company, I spearheaded Predictive Index implementation and employee engagement initiatives. Witnessing firsthand how Predictive Index transformed individuals, leaders, and teams solidified my belief in its potential.
With a Master’s degree in Counseling on the horizon and multiple Predictive Index certifications, I’m eager to leverage this knowledge to drive organizational success. My goal is to align the power of Predictive Index with the strategic objectives of the companies I serve.
