About

At 27, I was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer and learned I would never have children.   

At 28, I went into remission.   

Six months later, I got divorced. It was brutal.    

But this experience taught me how to turn major setbacks into minor stepping stones.  

And in 2006, I had a vision: What if people could feel less alone throughout their cancer experience? What if they could be surrounded not just by family and friends, but by a network of cancer patients and survivors?    

In 2007, MyLifeLine.org Cancer Foundation was born.   

In 2017, with 10 years experience in organizational development & strategy I helped merge MyLifeLine with Cancer Support Community, where I served as VP of Digital Strategy and Business Development until 2020.   

During this time, I realized the power of CONNECTION + COMMUNITY within a  COMPANY CULTURE to drive high performance and results. 

That’s when my Culture Transformation business was born. 

I’ve earned certifications, won awards, spoken to various audiences, and been recognized by multiple media outlets. 

But still--nothing matters more to me than helping companies understand this truth:  PEOPLE MATTER MOST.    

Okay, maybe my Peloton and 18-year-old twin boys.  

But otherwise, my clients are number #1.    

You can lead a healthy, high-performing culture where people love to work, and I can help.
