After over 20 years as a marketing and sales executive in the publishing and IT industries, I have learned to focus my energy more towards the people than the products. In business, I have earned awards for revenue-generating and community support awareness campaigns, re-branding companies and managing the M&A process for global companies.

My passion, however, lies in interesting turns life takes, and how we navigate those transitions.  Especially from a gender perspective. At different stages of our lives, we transition through different priorities and different challenges – from marriage and child-rearing, to career promotions, moving, sometimes divorce, death, and empty-nesting. Layer into that the fact that men and women are wired differently – we listen differently, we use language differently and we respond in different ways to the same situation – and you can see how life gets complicated!

And tangled. Modern technology and remote work environments mean it’s a very thin, porous line between “work life” and “personal life”.

Dirty Girls Consulting came into being because I want to help us each find our purpose and our joy in life. Because how we communicate matters. How we listen to each other – at work and at home – can have tremendous impact on how we shape our lives. Because clarity in our sense of purpose and the way we choose to fill our days IS what fills our lives. I believe we can be successful at any aspect of our lives – work, play, romance, parenting – just by knowing ourselves.
