Greenville, South Carolina, United States
With almost three decades of experience in leadership roles within churches, non-profits, and government, I have developed a robust skill set that enables me to drive adaptive change and foster growth. My expertise lies in developing collaborative teams that establish workable visions, drawing on both intuition and a strong ability to evaluate and analyze systems, whether in non-profits, churches, medical and legal practices, or local government. Mediating conflict during times of change has become second nature to me. I take pride in successfully applying innovative and change-driven leadership practices in organizations that are highly resistant to change. Beyond my professional pursuits, I have received accolades for my creative endeavors, including the Mockingbird Prize for poetry and the Reader's Choice Award at Backpacker Magazine. As a lecturer at King University, I have amassed extensive experience in public speaking, dedicating thousands of hours to honing my skills. Above all, I am a highly relational leader, adaptable, and committed to driving growth and inspiring others.
