If you would like to know more about me... I was born and raised in St. Louis, MO - and yes, I am a Baskett-case. I received my Bachelor's degree in Botany from Northern Arizona University (to satisfy my father), lived out my childhood dream in New York City for four years as a Professional Figure Skater and Dancer, and then chose Seattle as my home in 2004. I have an extensive teaching background, as well as a diverse work history which makes me well-suited to consult with various industries here at Media Partners.

When it comes to my work, I pride myself on timeliness, respect, and my ability to be a reliable resource (rather than just a 'salesperson') for my clients. I believe my varied life experience helps me to better understand the challenges my clients face in their organizations. Most importantly, I have a strong desire to help companies improve their work culture and will do what ever I can to make that happen.
