about me
I am passionate about bringing people together through meaningful events and experiences. With a background in global youth development and inclusion for individuals with intellectual disabilities, I have led and executed a wide range of programs and events, serving as a project manager, event director, curriculum developer, branding specialist, and grant administrator. In my current role, I design and lead national in-person and virtual events that support the professional development of independent insurance agents and emerging leaders across the country.
I hold a degree in Management Communication from North Dakota State University, with minors in Business Administration and Community Development. As a native Arizonan turned North Dakotan, I am well versed in adapting to new environments (and temperatures!). In my free time, I enjoy reading, crafting, and learning new things.

Leadership Themes
Enneagram 1: The Reformer
As an enneagram one, I am principled, purposeful and self-controlled. Key motivators include: striving for the best, identifying opportunities for improvement, advocating for change, and being consistent with personal ideals.
I am an ethical and responsible leader. I like to use roadmaps to track progress and achieve excellence, I appreciate processes and structure, I am very detail-oriented and constantly look for ways to stay organized and increase efficiencies.
My KOLBE
The Kolbe A Index (Instinct Test) is unique. It does not measure intelligence, personality or social style. It measures the instinctive ways you take action when you strive. Results provide information on how to be more productive, less stressed, and unlock joy both personally and professionally.
My KOLBE MO is: 7 - 6 - 4 - 3
-
Fact Finder (7): My best way of gathering and sharing information is to specify. I will do in-depth research, establish specific priorities, rank order of processes, define objectives and terms with exactness, create analogies, and share what is needed as appropriate for any situation.
-
Follow Thru (6): My best way of organizing is to maintain. I will package things that fit together, adjust procedures, monitor policies and realign objectives as needed, coordinate schedules, draft guidelines, provide transitions, and keep order.
-
Quick Start (4): My best way of dealing with risks and uncertainty is to modify. I will participate in experiments, create responses to challenges, try new ideas, use metaphors, interject spontaneously, adjust deadlines, reduce risks, and mediate between a vision and reality when needed.
-
Implementor (3): My best way of tackling space and tangibles is to envision. I will create virtual presentations, conceptualize solutions, brainstorm circumstances, sketch ideas, simulate situations, and pull ideas out of 'thin air.'
