I help organizations navigate change, build leadership capacity, and adopt AI without losing the humans in the process.

Through Praxis Studio, I work with leadership teams facing compounded change, AI adoption challenges, and the gap between what their tools can do and what their people feel ready for. My approach is grounded in Maxwell Leadership principles, Human-Centered AI, and two decades of experience leading teams across retail, higher education, and talent development.

I'm a Maxwell Leadership Certified Coach, Speaker, and Trainer, a DBA candidate in Strategy and Innovation, and the franchise owner of Blue Moon Estate Sales in Orlando. I've facilitated for organizations like Canon Financial Services and built AI training programs that put people first.

Whether it's a keynote, a leadership session, a diagnostic engagement, or the full design and installation of an AI leadership operating system, the work starts with the same conviction: care deeply, support wisely, innovate humanly.
