About Me
I’ve spent my career in public service because I believe in the power of communities to grow, heal, and thrive together. My work has taken me through government, public schools, and nonprofits, and for more than a decade I’ve had the privilege of serving in executive leadership roles across the Pacific Northwest.
Along the way, I’ve pursued additional training in coaching, conflict mediation, interim leadership, and anti-racism—because I know that real change happens not just through strategy, but through relationships built on trust, honesty, and care.
Today, I serve as the Executive Presbyter (Executive Director) for the Northwest Coast Presbytery, the largest geographic presbytery in the nation. It’s work that continually stretches me, as I walk alongside a wide diversity of congregations and leaders, helping them navigate challenges, clarify their purpose, and imagine new possibilities for the future.
Approach
Meaningful work begins with intention—through a clarified value, a brave conversation, a decision made with care.
I walk alongside mission-driven organizations to clarify vision, strengthen strategy, and nurture healthy culture. My approach is grounded in integrity, curiosity, and a deep belief that when actions are aligned with values, transformation is not only possible—it’s sustainable.
Because when your values are clear, your culture is healthy, and your decisions are intentional, your impact can grow in ways that are lasting, life-giving, and true to your mission.
Core Values
Integrity
I hold myself accountable to the values I name, because trust grows when actions and words align. Honesty and transparency guide the way, even when it’s hard, because trust is the foundation of lasting work.
Curiosity
I listen with an open heart and ask questions that spark discovery. Every story and every perspective is a doorway to deeper understanding.
Care
I honor people and the work they do, creating spaces where leaders feel seen, supported, and empowered. I believe the smallest acts of attention ripple outward, shaping culture and impact.
Courage
I embrace brave conversations, stepping gently yet boldly into the questions that matter most. Growth happens where honesty meets care.
Intention
I help organizations align purpose with action, making each decision mindful, each effort meaningful. When intention guides the work, impact is both lasting and life-giving.
