Sustainable change doesn't just come from what we build,
it comes from who we become while building it.
About me
Real transformation requires more than operational change—it requires leadership presence, cultural alignment, and human resilience.
I help organizations navigate large-scale change by aligning strategy, systems, and leadership capacity with how people actually learn, adapt, and grow.Through my firm, Engaging Wisdom, Inc., I partner with executive teams to design and lead enterprise-wide change initiatives—especially where technological innovation, cultural shifts, and leadership evolution intersect.
My work bridges operational execution with human-centered leadership, making transformation real, sustainable, and measurable.
Grounded in neuroscience and systems thinking, I help leaders clarify the transformation roadmap, strengthen their influence, foster psychological safety, and guide their people through disruption with clarity and resilience.
My background combines technical expertise and human systems insight. I hold a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership (Ed.D.), a Master of Public Health (MPH), and a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science.
I'm a certified Prosci Change Practitioner and Leadership Circle Profile 360 practitioner, with over a decade of experience leading change efforts across Fortune 500 companies, healthcare systems, public institutions, and mission-driven organizations.
Executive Coaching
In my experience, leaders today are often facing impossibly complex never before seen situations that require not only innovative, collaborative and creative decision making, but also a personal sense of resiliency and psychological agility.
Leaders today are at an impasse. The high levels of complexity in their places of work is bringing about experiences of stress, overwhelm and confusion like never before. Leaders can no longer rely on only their own expertise to lead the way.
At the heart of it, I believe sustainable change begins in the nervous system. Our ability to learn—individually and collectively—is diminished when we don’t feel psychologically safe. When people feel threatened, overwhelmed, or reactive, they retreat into defense mechanisms that block curiosity, creativity, and connection. But when leaders intentionally foster a culture of psychological safety, they create the conditions for real learning to happen. And from there, growth, innovation, and transformation don’t have to be forced—they become natural outcomes.
I work with individuals and teams to shed light on the neuroscience that drives their reactive mind, and support them in building a strong foundation of self-leadership and psychological agility. From this grounded state, capabilities such as mental clarity, emotional intelligence, executive presence, effective communication, and openness to collaboration emerge naturally. This engagement of awareness expands our capacity to face disruption and information overload—not with fear or denial, but with adaptability and wisdom.
Human Capital Consulting
I work with leaders navigating large-scale, enterprise-wide technological and cultural transformations—helping them strengthen their power of influence, manage the human side of change, and co-create clear, agile roadmaps that drive alignment, engagement, and adoption at every level of the organization.
As the founder of Engaging Wisdom, Inc., I partner with organizations to guide end-to-end transformation initiatives that align operational strategy with cultural evolution. My work spans executive coaching, large-scale change management, and process improvement efforts tied directly to performance metrics and KPIs.
I regularly support clients in mapping and executing enterprise-wide technology rollouts, leading optimization initiatives, and building adoption strategies grounded in industry best practices—including the Prosci methodology.

WOMEN IN TECH: FREE LEADERSHIP SERIES - MARCH 2024
As Spring approaches, there’s often the inspiration to declutter our physical, mental, and emotional spaces to make room for what's emerging. In this 3-part series we reflect on the power of cultivating the inner dimension of #PsychologicalSafety, and link that to our #SelfLeadership, #TeamLeadership and #OrganizationalLeadership #effectiveness. With the inevitable arrival of Spring, we bring a deeper understanding of why mental/emotional clutters occur naturally in the first place, and focus on key practices and tools to manage a continual inner renewal/pruning to strengthen our leadership muscles and impact our personal/professional communities in regenerative ways.

I work with you to design a transformative coaching roadmap that meets you where you are right now, and the future you envision in your personal and professional life. Sessions are typically 60-90 minutes in length, 2-4 times per month, with unlimited email and text support. Sessions can be designed to be either in person or virtual. For corporate coaching programs, we identify metrics and goals. I strongly suggest completing a personality or 360 assessment or both at the start of our coaching in order to set baseline metrics for our work together.Change Management Advising
I am a Prosci-certified change practitioner, and bring over 10 years of experience in the field of change management. Whether it is about changing culture or supporting people in adopting new technology, I work with you and your executive teams to build a customized roadmap for maximum adoption.
People are ultimately at the heart of ANY successful change process. It is their willing and eager engagement, participation, and knowledge/experience-sharing that enables the consulting team to fully understand the current state of affairs, and support the enhancement and adoption of a future state. To ensure our change projects are sustainable for the long-term, I leverage a multidimensional change management approach which takes into account the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that diminish and enhance people’s capacity to fully engage in a change process.
I incorporate foundational principles of human-centered design and neuroscience to ensure meaningful and productive engagements with all stakeholders, leading to maximum adoption of new processes.Speaking engagements: Corporate or Personal Events
