Speaker's Profile

Experienced executive with expertise in operations and HR, leading large teams in industries from retail to multi-family real estate. I recognized my strength and love for serving others in my very first job that turned into a phenomenal 25+ year career with Starbucks ascending from barista to executive. I am a constant learner of life as someone who surrounds herself with a wide range of books, interesting people, and always willing to take on the unknown. I am described as poised, tenacious, flexible, and an optimistic “voice of reason” at the table. As a lifelong athlete, learner, and business professional I believe in the importance of how we nurture our health by what and who we surround ourselves with making me extremely effective at building high performing teams and creating fun, highly productive work environments.
