Blaze your trail.

Why work with me?

​At Trailblazer Leadership, I help leaders make the climb from good to great. Especially when the mountains seem too tall or the challenges feel insurmountable, I can help you forge the path to find the joy you are looking for on the journey. I help people connect with their purpose, find balance in their personal and professional lives, and take action to create what they really desire. I help organizations build capacity to make a positive difference in the world through supporting the leaders within those organizations to develop and thrive. You are a trailblazer, and I want to walk with you as you discover what's next for you and your organization.

Adventure. Growth. Compassion. Connection. Justice. These are the values that guide me. I strive to use them when making decisions in my everyday life and in the vision for my future. Whether it's hiking a mountain trail or sitting at the table in a boardroom, these values are core to who I am and how I intend to live in the world.

I'm on my own journey too. Starting this business has forged a new path for me. In my career, I have started new things, often the one to take the first step, always with a desire to move forward. I know that each step I take leads me further on the path to living a purposeful life.

I'm fueled by connecting people and facilitating conversations that lead to new understanding, perspective, and action. I believe in an approach to leadership that is open, inclusive, and based in abundance. I love working with leaders in the nonprofit sector, but I support anyone from any field, industry, or sector who considers themselves a trailblazer.
​

I am thrilled to bring all of my current and past experience to Trailblazer Leadership. I am a graduate of St. Olaf College and I have my Master’s Degree from the Humphrey School of Public Affairs. Throughout my career, I have created and facilitated several leadership development programs on equity and inclusion, systems change, and fundamental leadership capacities for people working in state and local government and in nonprofit organizations. I teach graduate and undergraduate courses in leadership and nonprofit management and governance. I bring my knowledge and expertise in organizational development, emotional intelligence, change management, governance, and living systems to support the leaders I work with. I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF), and became a Certified Professional Coach through iPEC. I also serve on the board of directors for the Bicycle Alliance of Minnesota and Metro Blooms. For my full work history, connect with me on LinkedIn.
My work isn't possible without great partners and friends.
