I partner with organizations to tackle complex and ambiguous problems.

By focusing on both the individual experience and the organization’s needs, I design and implement interventions that are practical and measurable. Together we’ll define goals, create a roadmap, and achieve the change you’re looking for. 

I offer a variety of services and can serve as an expert consultant on a short term project or be an extension of your team for the longer term. I work virtually and in-person in the Boulder/Denver area.
