Founder & Principal Coach

I spent two decades inside hospitals and healthcare clinics building workforce programs and developing leaders — and watching good people get promoted without support and expected to lead without clarity. Eventually, I took my own advice. I launched Wildbrush Collective to bring workplace consulting, coaching, and soul-centered leadership training to people ready for their next chapter — on their terms.

About Us

The Story

My masters degrees are in healthcare administration and education, which is the formal way of saying I love both systems and people. (Most consultants pick one. I never could.) As an ICF ACC-certified leadership coach, I help leaders reflect, recalibrate, and lead with purpose — with a particular soft spot for mid-career growth, womens leadership journeys, and building a future where clarity and compassion coexist.

Montana is home. My clients are everywhere.

Outside of work, you will find me on a trail with my two Cavapoos (who are convinced every hike is about them), running, reading, journaling, or traveling to see family and friends. I am the mother of two adult children and the middle of five sisters — which means I was born negotiating peace treaties. Success rate: moderate. Experience: extensive.

Our Purpose

Mission

Wildbrush Collective exists to help leaders and organizations do their best work without losing themselves in the process.

Through coaching, leadership development, and strategic consulting, we cultivate self-awareness, resilience, and the ability to contribute positively to the world around us.

Our approach blends curiosity, excellence, and inspiration to create outcomes that are both impactful and sustainable.
