About Me

People matter. Period.

When I accepted a position within the Wrigley segment of Mars, Inc. in 2011, I knew that I was joining one of the greatest places to work not only in the United States, but in the world (sources Fortune, Forbes, Gallup, Great Places to Work); what I didn't know is that my career path would turn from sales to people management to what has become my passion - people strategy, organizational change, and learning & development.

I absolutely loved my position at Mars, but left so I could minimize travel and spend time with my husband and four kids. Since that time, I've transitioned into Higher Ed and now work for Purdue University. As a Baylor University alumna and Purdue associate, I am proudly both a Bear and a Boiler.

Regardless of the position or industry, I'm always excited to share what I've learned along the way.

My mission is to:

Ingrain the importance of professional development within institutions and individuals,
Enable people to grow both professionally and personally, and
Equip associates with the training and resources to do all of the above

I believe that investing in people should be the top priority for all organizations.

For People Leaders:

By investing in their people, effective leaders are not only directly influencing business results (an engaged associate is a productive associate), but are also impacting a person's future.

For All Associates:

By investing in oneself, associates are positioning themselves for both professional and personal growth.
