If you are looking for a strategic partner to help you advance your personal or professional work, particularly in academia or communications, let's talk!
My experience, talents, and passions ultimately converge on the desire to build others up. Through mentoring, teaching, and coaching, I have supported individuals in achieving their academic and professional goals for years. In the past, these interactions have largely been through the context of being someone's teacher or professional supervisor, but now I am actively looking to provide this encouragement to anyone needing extra support or motivation to achieve their next goal.
Want a mentor who can provide you with advice and assistance as you pursue an advanced degree? Need an editor who can help clarify your messaging to put your best work forward? Looking for someone to help guide your team through a change process? I am available for consulting work including academic coaching, communications assistance, and team training/workgroup facilitation. Louisa May Alcott observed: "it takes two flints to make a fire." Let me help spark your next level of accomplishment.
Professional Summary

From a personal standpoint, I live in Scott Depot, West Virginia, with my jazz faculty/musician husband, Jeff. I adore my dogs, Nica and Basie. I also love virtually every dog I see in person or on the internet.
