I grew up in Fort Smith, Northwest Territories; for 33 years the sub-arctic has been home. My early career was marked by success as a professional photographer and writer, earning international recognition from prestigious organizations such as the Royal Observatory of Greenwich and the Epson International Panorama Awards. Following a career transition due to a spinal injury, I shifted my focus to Talent Management, drawing on my background with living with a chronic disability to become a Gem Collector. What is a "Gem Collector"? In the world of leadership and organizational talent development, our people are the rare, precious gems we cherish. As a consultant specializing in people management, agile project management, and strategic planning, I guide leaders in uncovering these gems by: Prospecting: Identifying and sourcing exceptional talent. Polishing: Refining their skills through targeted training and development. Shaping: Providing coaching to help them reach their full potential. Refining: Enhancing their performance to achieve excellence. Positioning and Placing: Strategically placing them in roles where they can shine and succeed. I ensure that every "Gem" not only gleams brightly but also contributes to the overall brilliance of the organization. I spend my spare time volunteering in accessibility, disability and neurodivergent activism groups. I also appear in media advocating for improvements in healthcare, mental health and disability inclusion. I am a hobby full stack programmer and writer, with a book and podcast to come out for 2025.
