Commitment to public service:
My service to community began in earnest when I joined forces with United Way for Southeastern Michigan to co-found the Emerging Philanthropists program, aimed at harnessing the caring power of metro Detroit’s young professionals to drive progress in the region. Over the 10+ years that followed, I worked across committees, the Board and staff to deeply understand the challenges of the community and the sector, bring my skills and use my seat at the table to advocate for progress and meaningful change.
Leading teams for maximum impact:
As a leader at Slalom Michigan, our values are my north star, and they are why the best and brightest talent is attracted to Slalom. I work with our people to understand who they are, what inspires them and how they want to grow so that I can build high-performing teams. It is these teams that go on to deliver exceptional service and the outcomes that our clients need to achieve to realize their strategic priorities.
Building bridges:
As a connecter of people and ideas, I love to help solve problems, especially those that can help improve the lives of others. I have built dozens of trusted relationships over the last two decades by bringing honest, fair and data-driven perspectives to help my clients and colleagues see a situation from a new angle.
