Every person has an origin story.
Here’s mine.

Of course, I have put it in bullet points. Like a good consultant.

Formative Years in the Midwest

  • Raised on a horse farm in South Bend, Indiana by a pathologist and cytotechnologist along with a lot of horses and two whippet dogs

  • Won multiple national titles in equestrian events

  • Was one of the “drama kids” in high school and enjoyed being in plays, musicals, and choir

  • Earned two degrees from the University of Notre Dame and studied abroad in London, United Kingdom

    • B.S. in Chemical Engineering

    • B.A. in Psychology

  • Discovered love of photography and crafting, activities I still enjoy today

Early Career Across the U.S.

  • Joined GE Aerospace’s Operations Management Leadership Program (a 4-rotation, 2-year program) after college moving to New Mexico, Florida, North Carolina, and Ohio

  • Moved to GE Energy (now GE Vernova) to work as a sourcing specialist for the Renewable Energy products in Greenville, South Carolina and climbed 85m (~280ft) to the top of a wind turbine

  • Full details of these roles can be found on my LinkedIn profile

Consulting and Planting Roots in the South

  • Earned an MBA from Goizueta Business School at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, concentrating in Finance and Strategy and studied at Aalto University in Helsinki, Finland

  • Joined Deloitte Consulting’s Strategy & Operations practice to support clients where Strategy and Supply Chain intersect out of the Charlotte, North Carolina office (detail can be found on my LinkedIn profile)

  • Over 7 years ago, I left Deloitte and “hung my shingle” as an independent consultant, where I help clients improve their organizations without sacrificing their culture. I love the novelty, people, and a good challenge

A Personal Note

  • I have been greatly supported on this journey by incredible colleagues, friends, family, and the most by Mike, my husband

  • Around the time I opened my business, we also adopted @lulumcshihtzu, who has since become an accidental nano-influencer on Instagram

  • In addition to photography and crafts, I am learning to love weight lifting via the 5x5 program, and I enjoy a good cocktail
