About Me

From the small town of Assumption, Illinois to the big city of Seoul, South Korea, I have carried with me a sense of purpose directed toward empowering those around me. I am a business professional, international traveler, and kidney donor, and I am excited to have the opportunity to share my experiences with you.

Business Philosophy

I am passionate about the importance of teamwork, communication, and optimism toward a changing future. We live in a time where effective change management is crucial for businesses to thrive in today's globalized environment. I believe strong leadership and innovation around education and growth are integral components of a successful future.

Education and Certifications

Following my Bachelor of Arts in English and TESOL Certificate from the University of Illinois, I pursued  a dual Masters program and earned my MBA in International Business and MS in Management and Organizational Behavior. Later on, I obtained certifications as a Certified Change Practitioner through Prosci and as a Microsoft Certified Trainer. Leveraging a diverse range of technical certifications from Cyber Security to Cloud Computing, I've had the privilege of empowering over 10,000 Microsoft customers, enabling them to realize their full potential daily.
