I'm one of those “want to help people” people. I'm a member of the Choctaw (Native American) Nation of Oklahoma. I started out working in emergency management when I was 16. From there, I went on to work in medicine & higher education. Now, using many years of experience, education & success, I'm able to help other me find professional success & live balanced, happy lives.

 

Here’s what you’ll get when you work with me:

 

• I thrive in problem solving & developing &  implementing strategy.

• I have an uncanny ability to understand the way seemingly unrelated issues are connected together.

• I am also convinced that you have a better strategy for solving your problem than anyone you can hire. Through coaching, I help you determine what exactly the problem is & how to overcome it.

• You will rarely hear me giving you solutions. Rather, I'll push you to dig deep for a solution that fits you, your unique circumstances & your organization.

• Yes, it’s work! But it's work that produces quality strategies & lasting results.

Here's a little bit about me:

​

• I bring 20 years of experience training & developing people in various roles & industries.

• I have thousands of hours of experience coaching leaders in multiple fields. 
  I also bring the education & credentials to back it up, including:

-Professional Certified Coach (PCC) by the International Coach Federation
-Ph.D. Workforce and Adult Education from Oklahoma State University
-Graduate Certificate Executive & Professional Coaching
-M.A. Theology
-B.A. Interpersonal/Organizational Communication

 

I also keep learning so you don’t have to. Some additional topics that I've studied over the past several years include:

- Disruptive Innovation

- Applied Positive Psychology
- Health and Wellness Coaching
- Coaching in Education

-Various Emergency Response courses
 

Thank you for letting me partner with you on your leadership journey. Your breakthrough is right around the corner!

​

Cheers!
