I fell in love with consulting because I like to solve problems and make ALL people happy.

I graduated with a B.S. from Boston University’s School of Hospitality Management and a couple of months later, opted for warmer weather, moving to Atlanta to get an MBA from Clark Atlanta University. I had grand aspirations of becoming an executive at a major hotel chain and then opening my own boutique hotel on a Caribbean island.

As it turned out, I did not get a job in Hospitality. After graduating from college and working for 2 years at Andersen Consulting (now Accenture), I landed a career as a global HR Technology consultant. This gave me opportunities to explore the world implementing solutions to support processes that helped HR better serve employees. To date, I have traveled throughout North America, South America, Western Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

I finally settled down in my late 30s and stopped traveling for work. I wanted to be more present with my husband and son. I also needed to do more in my community. I began volunteering as a Court Appointed Special Advocate and Peer Coach, where I advocate for the needs of children in foster care due to abuse or neglect. I have been a CASA for many years. I hope my advocacy for children will break the cycle of abuse so many experiences even into adulthood.
