There's a big difference between achievement and fulfillment. As a recovering hyper-achiever, I can tell you that achieving without alignment to my values, strengths, and well-being no longer serves me.

Truth is, it never did.

Now, I focus on what creates fulfillment in my life and pursue, unapologetically, whatever brings me energy and invites a deeper sense of purpose and perspective. The impact and rewards are substantial, and of no comparison.

With nearly 20 years of recognized management consulting, certified professional coaching, and transformative leadership development experience, I have experience partnering executive leaders and managing professionals at companies such as IBM, Amazon, and Microsoft.

Motivated by autonomy, confidently curious, and courageously authentic, I started The Wander Project in pursuit of co-creating more meaningful lives, healthier organizations, and a happier planet.
