"I'm passionate about being a catalyst for individuals and groups who want to create extraordinary results and connect their souls to their careers, their businesses and their lives. The purpose of my work is transformation through awareness. I love seeing the lights go on! I hope to transform the process of business communications and facilitate collaboration, connection and healthy relationships in the workplace."
Professional Background
I have had several fulfilling, joyful, challenging careers in my 60 years. I started my professional career as a registered nurse and a nurse practitioner. After returning from Viet Nam, I switched my focus to psychotherapy and had a private practice which expanded to include coaching and facilitation.
For 12 years I worked with a major training company, facilitating two five-day workshops, "The Pursuit of Excellence" and "The Wall," throughout North America. It was a privilege to help thousands of people clarify and reach their personal and professional goals. I also had full-time faculty positions for two years at the University of Washington and Bellevue Community College.
I have had a rich military career, which was full of personal learning for me! I had three years' active duty in the Army including one year in Viet Nam in a field hospital. Then came 17 years in the active reserve, finally retiring as a Lieutenant Colonel in 1993.

Other Passions
My life partner, time with friends, sharing my home with five cats, animal welfare (Board member of Whatcom Humane Society), hospice work, gardening, anything in the wilderness (hiking, backpacking, kayaking, cross-country skiing, biking, river running, mountaineering), buying and sometimes reading books, gazing at Mt. Baker and the ocean from my front yard, and the pursuit of life-long learning.
I truly love my work and want to partner with clients and organizations that are committed to learning, working hard, laughing much and contributing to their community.
