More About Me
I started my career at Duke Energy (formerly Cincinnati Gas and Electric), where I gained foundational experiences in organization development, high performance team coaching, and strategic planning. Most of my career was spent working at GE where I joined as a Human Resources Manager and steadily progressed through various leadership roles, including a learning leadership role where I was responsible for delivering leadership development and professional skills training to 15,000 global employees.
My passion lies in growing and developing strong, adaptable leaders. Over my GE tenure, I had the privilege of: Identifying and coaching future leaders to help organizations build a talent pipeline and close critical gaps, curating learning experiences that shift leader’s perspectives and inspire transformative work, and leading succession planning and talent review processes at the business and P&L level.
I have also served as a Program Director at UNC Executive Development where I focused on the design and delivery of customized learning experiences for organizational leaders from the C-suite to entry-level management. I continue to serve the UNC community as an executive coach.
When I’m Not Working …
I live in Charlotte, NC with my husband, Jesse, and our 2 adult children, Jessica and Stefone. We are total foodies, so we appreciate exploring new restaurants and enjoying a nice meal filled with lots of laughter and love. We’re also sports enthusiasts and love watching our favorite teams play: The Cincinnati Bengals, Ohio State Buckeyes, and Boston Celtics. I am most proud of Jessica and Stefone who have grown into amazing and thriving adults. In my spare time, you’ll find me reading a good book, riding my bike on a local greenway, or spending quality time with friends and family.
