Meet Your Organizational Development Partner

I've seen the gap. Organizations invest heavily in executives while front-line staff get minimal training. Administrative teams are expected to "figure it out" on their own. Managers are promoted without learning how to manage. And everyone wonders why teams struggle to work together.

The truth is, every person in your organization deserves development—and I've spent nearly two decades making that happen. As a Leadership Development Specialist and current Director of Finance and Human Resources, I've created comprehensive training programs that develop people at every organizational level, from new hires to executive leadership.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Accounting and Business Administration from Western Michigan University and am pursuing a Master's in Human Resource Management at Central Michigan University. I serve as Treasurer for the Michigan Chapter of the American Public Works Association and chair multiple professional development programs supporting hundreds of public sector professionals each year.

I live in rural Michigan with my husband, John, and our two sons. I understand that work is just one part of life—which is why my training focuses on practical skills people can actually use, both at work and beyond.

What Happens When Your People Don't Get the Training They Need?

Without intentional development at every level, organizations experience:

Communication Breakdowns - Teams struggle to collaborate, creating friction and inefficiency across departments

Disengaged Employees - People feel undervalued when they're not given tools to grow and succeed in their roles

Leadership Gaps - Managers are promoted without the skills to lead, creating ripple effects throughout the organization

Cultural Dysfunction - Without shared values and skills, silos form and trust erodes

High Turnover - Talented people leave for organizations that invest in their development

The reality? Your front-line staff need just as much development as your executives—just different skills. When you invest in training everyone from the break room to the boardroom, you create an organization where people thrive, teams perform, and results follow.
