I spent years in the nonprofit world watching something that broke my heart.

Brilliant, dedicated people — people who genuinely wanted to change the world — becoming the kind of leaders they once swore they'd never be. Not because they were bad people. Because nobody ever taught them how.

I was one of them. I learned leadership the hard way, picking up habits I'm not proud of, mostly by surviving managers who ruled through fear and confusion. I knew I wanted to be different. I just didn't always know how.

That experience is what built The Quiet Wild.

I work with newer leaders — people in their first ten years of leading teams — to help them build skills before the bad habits set in. To help them lead with clarity instead of anxiety. To show them that strong leadership and human leadership are the same thing.

What I bring to this work:

• ICF Certified Coach (ACC)

• LMSW (Licensed Master Social Worker)

• Certified Mindfulness Facilitator

• Dare to Lead™ Trained Facilitator

• Certified Mediator

• Years of nonprofit leadership experience
