Helping You Do Good Work.
For leaders who are done with the status quo and ready to make real change.
How We Can Work Together
You don’t need another theory or leadership book — you need practical ways to move forward. I work with leaders who are ready to face tough challenges, bring people along, and make meaningful change. Whether through coaching, custom facilitation, or leadership development, you’ll find clear support to help you do good work.
Coaching
Practicing leadership can feel lonely, especially when you’re burned out, stuck, or carrying more than your share of the weight.
My coaching provides a sounding board and a strategy partner, helping you see patterns, test new approaches, and move forward with confidence. Together, we’ll translate your values into daily practices that build resilience and momentum.
Custom Facilitation
When tough conversations, board tensions, or strategic decisions stall out, you need more than another meeting.
I design and facilitate sessions that surface what’s really at stake, create shared ownership, and move groups from talk to action. Each session is tailored to your context — practical, participatory, and built to deliver clarity you can act on.
Leadership Development
Leadership isn’t about titles — it’s a practice. I deliver workshops and programs that equip your people to face challenges directly, adapt under pressure, and mobilize others toward shared goals.
Grounded in adaptive leadership and years of experience training diverse groups, these sessions combine theory, tools, and real-time practice so learning sticks.

How I Do It
Leading through change is complex, and every context brings its own challenges. My approach combines a background in sociology, group dynamics, and social trends with years of experience across mission-driven organizations, fast-paced startups, and large, multicultural institutions.
For you, that means I can translate what’s happening in your team or organization into clear patterns and practical steps. I’ve studied how people move through change — both individually and together — and built a practice that connects research with lived reality to help you make meaningful progress.
No matter the project, my work is grounded in three core tenets.
Own your behavior.
My approach starts with what you can actually control — your behavior. Leadership starts with uncovering and practicing the small, daily habits that keep you grounded. Whether that’s how you respond when your kid asks for the fifth time what’s for dinner, or how you show up when deciding which program your team needs to cut. Real change begins when you take responsibility for your own behavior.
Define success on your terms.
This work helps you clarify what matters most so you can make intentional trade-offs. My approach challenges the easy answers and supports you in facing the reality that every change involves loss—even the good ones.
Identifying and holding to your purpose helps make these trade-offs more intentional.
Mobilize others.
Progress doesn’t happen in isolation. My approach creates the conditions for trust, communication across difference, and shared ownership. It ensures you don’t carry the weight of change alone, but instead move forward with others beside you.
More About Me
I’m a South Louisiana native, proud to call Cajun country home. I come from exiled Acadians, immigrants who crossed oceans, and many whose stories were never recorded. I took French from grade school through college because I wanted to learn the native language of my dad and his family. The language that was taken from them when they were expected to assimilate.
That’s part of why I do this work. I like figuring things out—how systems work, how people lead, how we change—and I like helping others do the same. I don’t always start with mastery. I start with curiosity. I follow patterns until I see how things connect, and once that tie is made, I go deep.
I’ve been in leadership roles most of my life (any other eldest daughters out there?). In high school, I studied how leadership and environment intersected while replanting Louisiana marshland. In college, I co-created a leadership studies minor because there wasn’t a clear way for first-gen students like me to practice leadership while working full time. I’ve always been building what didn’t yet exist. Starting with what I needed and sharing it with others.
