About Me

I have always been fascinated by people; how we think, how the environments we’re part of influence who we become, and how we can support one another through life’s challenges. That curiosity led me to study psychology, believing my path would eventually lead to psychiatry. As I walked that path, I found myself working in mental health in the Human Resources department.

What I didn’t expect was to discover that everything I was learning about human behavior applied there too. I was seeing it play out every day in leadership, communication, motivation, organizational culture, and conflict. I saw the opportunity to scale my initial intention of helping individuals by understanding and building the systems that shape how hundreds, or even thousands of people experience a major part of life – work.

What I expected to be a stepping stone became a turning point.

I followed this unexpected trail that emerged and went on to earn my master’s degree in management and organizational behavior because I believed, and still believe, that work is deeply personal. Working professionals spend more than 40 hours each week on average at work. Unfortunately, the experiences we have there don’t just get left at the office door. In both conscious and unconscious ways they influence our confidence, our stress, our relationships, and ultimately the way we show up as humans sharing this moment in history.

To be alive, is to be alive alongside everything that exists now and ideas that have outlived the people who first imagined them.

I don’t believe work and life can be separated. I see them as constantly influencing each other.

Like many of us, I have experienced the ebb and flow of life that inevitably brings about challenges. I’ve experienced how overwhelming it can be to navigate vulnerable situations, career decisions, and the systems that are supposed to support us.

These moments rarely arrive with clear instructions. More often, they come disguised as conversations, unexpected opportunities, difficult seasons, or ideas that don’t make sense until much later.

That’s the idea behind Thinker of Things. It’s about staying curious. Paying attention to the boxes life puts in front of us and unpacking the connections between people, workplaces, and ideas.

My years partnering with leaders taught me that most people aren’t looking for someone to hand them the “right” answer. They’re looking for someone who can help them think more clearly. Someone who can connect ideas, simplify complexity, and create enough clarity to move forward with confidence.

I don’t believe you need a leadership title to benefit from a thought partner. Every one of us is leading something, our career, our family, our health, or our future. Today, I help others navigate the paths in front of them by better understanding the systems they’re walking through.

If something you find in my digital space brings clarity, confidence, or simply a different way of thinking, please feel welcomed to share it with me.
