I spent my 20s exploring and working in corporate offices, where I supported CEOs, planned and led company-wide events, and immersed myself in business operations, change management, and internal communications. Along the way, I kept reaching the same conclusions: 

• We spend a lot of our precious time at work, so even if you don't love your job, you should (at the very least) enjoy the time you spend working
• We often hide our most creative, brilliant selves in rigid work structures to maintain the status quo
• How you feel every day at work impacts how you feel at home and who you are outside of work, no matter how firm your boundaries are

I also lost three grandparents in their early to mid-60s (two suddenly). 

These losses led me to a life-changing realization: retirement might never come, so we can't "wait" until retirement to live the life we always dreamed of.

That's why I'm on a mission to help improve the 8+ hours we spend at work each day so we can enjoy our one precious life without waiting for retirement. 

For me, "not waiting" looks like:

• Creating workplace cultures that promote growth, autonomy, and a healthy balance between work and play (internal communications plays a big role in culture!)
• Supporting the workplace revolutionaries, including internal communicators, change management pros, project managers, and people-focused teams who are changing the game
• Leveraging time management and productivity techniques to get more done in less time (because work should help you live your life, not consume it)
• Recognizing that we shouldn't give our best selves to work 100% of the time — our loved ones deserve our presence, too

Serving businesses, brands, and individuals who share these values energizes me. 

I also love getting lost in a good book! Below are the books I've read or am currently reading this year via Bookshop. (Minus any Amazon exclusives.)

Or you can find me on Goodreads.
