I'm passionate about nurturing the connection between spirit, mind, and body and creating diverse, healthy, and productive relationships personally, professionally, and within communities.
At a young age, I recognized the importance of incorporating health and wellness practices into my daily life, helping me cope with and manage the stress and anxiety I experienced as a child.
I spent the last 28 years helping others incorporate health and wellness products and services into their organizations and personal lives. I've served as Vice President of Healthy Living for the second-largest YMCA in the country. In this role, I led the innovation of all health and well-being product offerings and supported 27 unique locations ensuring quality member experience and membership growth. I've had hands-on experience as a Personal Trainer, Group Exercise Instructor & Trainer, Executive Director, and District Executive.
In 2019, I founded Give Consulting Group to support organizations and leaders in developing and reimagining innovative approaches to health and well-being within all facets of their organization, transforming teams and positively impacting the customers and community members they serve. Over the past four years, our team has created impactful business and marketing strategies for our clients, including non-profits, for-profit companies, and startups.
I'm an experienced trainer and speaker and have facilitated numerous health and well-being programs and retreats. I'm a lifelong learner committed to living with intentionality, curiosity, and authentic partnerships. I feel fortunate to lend my creative energy to support clients in developing meaningful health and well-being strategies, practices, and processes and helping them thrive in their personal and professional lives.
“If you’re going to live, leave a legacy. Make a mark on the world that cannot be erased.”

Throughout my 20+ years of professional experience, I have recognized the importance of community engagement in supporting the health and well-being of myself and others. As a single mother of four, I developed a unique perspective on life and competencies in resourcefulness, tenacity, and resilience. I've learned that every moment is substantial and part of a profound narrative for personal growth and development.
I am purpose-led and heart-driven. As I engage in authentic partnerships, I'm passionate about supporting others on their journey to understanding and curating impactful well-being practices that inspire change and connect people to the community.
I am relationship oriented and people-centered. I have 14 years of marketing experience partnering with law firms and attorneys helping them expand and grow their practice. In 2018, I transitioned to government becoming more community-focused, leading and supervising teams supporting constituent services. My time with the city was transformational and allowed me to continue my passion for engaging and partnering with the community. As the Program Manager, I formulated innovative strategies and systems to deliver exceptional customer service and support. Additionally, I partnered with human resources to facilitate training sessions to promote equity and inclusivity. I also played a pivotal role in facilitating leadership and community organizations' efforts to provide opportunities to community members experiencing life's challenges, including homelessness and pandemic-related disparities.
My life energy leads me to be an incubator of kindness and compassion. I have thoroughly appreciated opportunities within various roles to support teams as a trainer and mentor, serving with curiosity, intentionality, and mindfulness to promote and enrich health and well-being in the workplace and community.
My partnership with Give Consulting Group began in 2021, supporting the development of thoughtful and innovative health and well-being strategies within organizations. I'm thrilled to join Give Consulting Group to lend an equitable and diverse perspective as we become a catalyst for change and transformation.
