Ask Me About

Driving clarity and commitment to new strategic direction, organizational alignment and design, standing up new enterprise change, program and strategy teams, and leading transformations at the enterprise level.

Get To Know Me

Outside of work, I am an active volunteer with several voter advocacy organizations in Ohio. I also enjoy playing piano and marimba, practicing Ashtanga yoga, snow skiing and reading. My husband and I also love to travel. We try to learn as much of the language and cultural norms of the country we are visiting before we go, which builds excitement and anticipation for each trip.

Who inspires you and why?

I am inspired by my mom, who finished raising three kids alone after my dad passed away suddenly when I was a teenager. She kept our family together during dark times.

Best piece of advice?

Know your worth. Don’t settle for anything less than you deserve.

Hidden talent?

I enjoy singing, especially Broadway, country or pop. I don’t profess to be good. However, invite me to karaoke night and I promise we’ll have lots of laughs.

Centric’s culture is of one of infectious collaboration. Our consultants have a way of assimilating into client projects very quickly and becoming part of the team. Client goals become our goals. We do everything in our power to deliver unmatched experiences and ensure sustainable solutions.
