“The best leaders aren’t the ones with all the answers — they’re the ones who make people feel seen. I believe leadership is earned through empathy, honesty, and the courage to have real conversations. Helping new and emerging leaders grow into confident, emotionally intelligent humans is the work that matters most to me.”
