I have spent my career influencing social impact and inclusion outcomes from my position as a stakeholder within the business and am excited to use my strategic and builder skillset to create systems with INTENTION and PURPOSE. I am a firm believer that a focus on Trust, Purpose, Empowerment, and FUN in the workplace is the best way to create an engaged team (and positive metrics!)
What I Bring to the Table:
I am a builder; There is a clear pattern in my career of being brought in to build the need; Big or Small, People or Processes; Quality Systems, Management Systems, Project Management Offices, Product Lifecycle Processes, Teams, full facilities!! I enjoy the thrill of bringing visions to life, to live our ‘WHY’.
I am a leader; I believe in people; of understanding what motivates them, where their innate strengths lie and then empowering those strengths to drive the team towards the goal. Building a diverse team of individuals in the right seat, feeling confident and owning their voice is an amazing reward. I am a firm believer that ensuring teams feel safe, supported, and aligned is a benefit to business. (I chalk this ‘need to understand people’ up to my own neurodivergent lens)
I lead transformation; as an energetic, inclusive, and optimistic problem solver. I am curious by nature and excel when faced with a steep learning curve - I’ve been lucky enough to have been able to build a pretty AWESOME career out of it!! I ensure that all teams have the right information, in the right format, with the right context to empower decisions to be made and for progress to be gained.
I am pretty darn good at leveraging data; I have always been naturally good at observing patterns and my career and education has afforded me the opportunity to turn that natural ability into a true skillset. I have my Black Belt in Lean Six Sigma and use data to drive decisions on the daily. I truly believe that the data will identify the opportunity and that a well-built process can be implemented to capitalize on it.
Outside of work, my husband and I raise our 3 young children on our small family farm, selling our wares each weekend at our local farmer’s market – doing our part to give back to the community while practicing conscious capitalism. We spend our downtime tackling the infinite number of jobs that seem to pop up around the farm while enjoying the great outdoors. The more time we can spend outside the better (it also has the added perk of wearing out our active children!) 😊
I am confident that my skills and flexible “We’ve GOT this” personality will help support the drive forward.
