I have been through the 8-week Leaders Emerging to Advance Peoria (LEAP) Academy and 16-week Community Leadership School (CLS) to build upon my existing team/group communication & leadership skills.

*I am based in Central Illinois, but am available to connect remotely or travel for longer consulting engagements.
Central IL Regional Connections:
My professional network & personal interests have allowed me to really connect with the Greater Peoria Region. Previously working for Illinois Central College & the Peoria Area Chamber of Commerce, while actively been partnering on initiatives with the Greater Peoria Economic Development Council, the Peoria Area Convention & Visitor’s Bureau/Discover Peoria, other regional Chambers of Commerce, Ameren Illinois, Bradley University, Busey Bank, Carle Health, Caterpillar, CEFCU, CEO Council, City of Peoria, Commerce Bank, Community Foundation of Central Illinois, Eureka College, Komatsu, OSF HealthCare, Peoria Civic Center, Peoria Public Schools, Peoria Riverfront Museum, PNC Bank, University of Illinois College of Medicine - Peoria, WEEK, WTVP & many other influential employers, organizations, movers & shakers.
A community building movement/event known as The Big Table: Greater Peoria & a 10-year Talent Acquisition & Retention plan called: Greater Peoria 2030 are among the initiatives with which I am currently collaborating and have been a part of from day-one.
I serve on the Board of the Peoria Humane Society & Young Professionals of Greater Peoria (YPGP). Both allow me to volunteer within the community & give back in meaningful ways for causes that are important to me.
In my remaining free time, I enjoy domestic & international travel, abstract painting, furniture refinishing/reupholstery, home DIY projects, landscaping, & spending time with my two dachshunds: Rupert & Daphne.
