From a young age, I was drawn to engineering as a means of improving the world around me.

Upon entering the aerospace manufacturing industry, I discovered continuous improvement and realized that improving processes could have an even greater impact on results.  

Throughout my improvement journey, I found myself dealing more with the people than process to achieve sustainable results; change management became the focus. By helping individuals adapt to change, processes improved, and employees implemented these changes more quickly for better results.  

After attending Royal Roads and receiving a Certificate in Executive Coaching, my career focus shifted to improving the effectiveness of leaders, to engage employees in achieving a ‘shift’ in business performance.  

My work is fuelled by my passion to help leaders bring out the best of themselves, their organizations and their teams.  Combining strategy, continuous improvement, change management, training and coaching to produce improved business results.
