Growing up in a large extended family in the Northeast, communication was crucial-not only to be heard as a family member but also to get a piece of pie at Thanksgiving. I learned quickly how to work in a large group to accomplish a task or objective as well as how to utilize my work ethic to get ahead of the pack. These characteristics served as the foundation to my highly decorated Olympic and Professional athletic career and helped me develop a profound knowledge in leadership, team building, culture creation, and perseverance.  I now use this knowledge in my current roles in business as well as in my facilitation work with organizations, corporations, and teams across the globe.

During my days as a professional athlete, I studied what makes great teams, a great teammate, and how a group of people can exceed their potential.  After my time in the pool, I have been part of startups, long standing businesses, and nonprofit organizations.  Currently, I serve as Director of Team Services, managing an internal team of advisors in charge of 2,500 local businesses that reach roughly 400,000 customers.  Our internal group is remotely positioned across the country to have a better understanding of the local needs, so it is imperative our teams align in our systems, policies, and procedures to be successful. We provide customer service, tools, and business education to empower these businesses to thrive at their highest level. Through my own work, I discovered my passion for helping a team, group, or organization exceed its own goals and expectations.

My philosophy is simple: I want you and your organization to win on the biggest stages.  I can help you and your team establish effective methods for creating sustainable results year after year.  Just like in the water, if you are approaching each year with little to no learning and adjustments, not only are you not growing, but you are 

My philosophy is simple: I want you and your organization to win on the biggest stages.  I can help you and your team establish effective methods for creating sustainable results year after year.  Just like in the water, if you are approaching each year with little to no learning and adjustments, not only are you not growing, but you are stagnant and likely going backwards.  As I was told growing up, “always leave it better than when you found it.” If your business, organization, or team would benefit from a fresh perspective and innovative new ideas, let’s do it. Never limit yourself!
