The Chapters of My Career
Chapter 1. Discovering my love of business and learning to be a road warrior.
While earning my Master’s Degree in Organizational Psychology, I realized I was passionate about helping organizations be places where people can learn, grow, and be fulfilled. I set out to work in consulting and landed my first job at Ernst & Young.
I also summited Mt. Rainier and became a certified scuba diver.
Chapter 2. Loving my work and circling the globe.
Over the years, I filled progressively responsible roles in some of the world’s most prestigious strategy consulting firms, where I have been a Global and North American Practice lead running large P&Ls, developing people, and innovating services; New York Office Managing Director building community, stakeholder engagement and commercial markets; Account Executive growing revenues from $0 to multi-millions, delivering client value; and an individual contributor with a proven track record producing commercial success year over year.
I traveled the world, accumulating four million air miles and over 500 scuba dives, becoming an accomplished underwater photographer.
Chapter 3. Continuing my contribution to business while finding new places to explore.
Two Rivers Partners allows me to continue to advise clients as a consultant or fractional executive, serve on corporate boards, and fulfill my purpose through various non-profit and philanthropic endeavors.
I am traveling to faraway places and honing my underwater photography skills while cherishing my beloved family and friends.
