Passion

I'm passionate about connecting the dots—between people, ideas, and systems—to uncover powerful opportunities for change. I believe people are at their best when they feel seen, supported, and aligned with purpose. And I believe business is at its best when it leads with values, centers humanity, and turns purpose into measurable impact.

Origin Story

My journey started in boardrooms and back offices, navigating the complexities of leadership, compliance, and operations. I saw firsthand how organizations could be technically successful yet completely miss the mark on impact, equity, and purpose. Over time, I realized that too often, doing good was treated as an afterthought—not a strategy.

I’ve never been one to accept “this is just how it’s done.” I love to challenge and buck the status quo—especially when it’s no longer serving people or progress. My ah-ha moment came when I was asked to fix a so-called “people problem” that was really a values problem. That moment made it clear: sustainable success starts from within—with governance, operations, and strategy rooted in integrity and aligned with purpose.

I launched BGoodPartners™ to help mission-driven leaders lead with clarity, courage, and conviction. And I created the Voices of Impact™ podcast to spotlight those redefining what good leadership looks like—doing good while making good, and making good while doing good.

Through its two series—Changemakers Unlocked, which features bold leaders disrupting systems and creating real-world impact, and The Nourish Note, which explores the intersections of well-being, justice, and community—I amplify stories that challenge norms, uplift voices, and spark action.
