About

With a background in fitness, psychology, and a Master's degree in Counseling, I've dedicated my career to empowering individuals and teams to thrive. For over a decade, I've been driving positive change in corporate wellness, understanding the intersection of economic conditions, industry trends, and employee needs while always keeping top of mind employer priorities like cost and ROI. Leveraging technology, I help bring employee awareness to their benefits ecosystems and the tools that promote their wellbeing. A seasoned speaker, I've participated as both moderator and panelist in various forums, discussing a wide range of topics related to employee wellbeing. Learn more about me at
