With over 20 years of experience guiding mission-driven organizations, I blend behavioral science, change management, and proven communication skills to help teams move from disconnection to alignment, and from good intentions to real impact. My work doesn’t just clarify strategy; it reshapes how people relate, decide, and act together when it counts most.

​

I am the Founder of MI for Health, a consultancy grounded in the belief that better outcomes start with better conversations. I have served as a trusted advisor to organizations including the State of Illinois, the Institute for Healthcare Improvement, the University of Nebraska Medical Center, MIT, and the Institute for Healthcare Delivery Design. Across health care, higher education, and public service, I've trained thousands of professionals in how to engage others in change with more clarity, courage, and connection.

 

As a former behavioral science researcher, I draw from disciplines like motivational interviewing, deep canvassing, and reflective listening to help clients move beyond top-down messaging and co-create change with those who may be skeptical of it. I coach leaders and teams in how to surface what’s unsaid, shift conversations, and design for shared momentum, not just compliance.

​

I hold a Master’s in Education from Harvard University and am a faculty member with the Institute for Healthcare Improvement. I'm also a Prosci Certified Change Practitioner and a member of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers. ​
