Before launching Monumental Strides in 2022, I spent almost two decades creating destinations and attractions (theme parks, zoos, aquaria, museums, water parks, etc.) all over the world. As a theme park enthusiast with a background in business, architecture, and engineering, I had landed my dream job! Traveling to new countries, experiencing new cultures, and working with incredibly creative teams…what could be better than this?

Then something happened that rocked my world - I became a mother of two amazing boys and over time, my life priorities changed. Suddenly, time spent traveling and missing important moments in my sons’ lives overshadowed the great attributes of my job. I immediately paused and decided to approach things differently. Knowing that my passion lies in helping others achieve goals that can transform their organizations, I embarked on a new journey to redesign my life with the goal of achieving better balance and spending more time with my young family.

As a Business Strategist, I now apply my business knowledge and creative thinking differently, focusing on empowering others to define, communicate and achieve bigger and more intentional goals for growth. I work with organizations to define goals and strategies that are unique to them, reflecting their vision, values, strengths, story and team. I understand that ideas are only valuable if implemented so my process is rooted in action and ongoing guidance. Strategic planning is an iterative process (because we all understand that things rarely go as planned) and that by knowing where you are headed (and why) and pausing along the way to assess progress, anyone can have an impactful and meaningful journey while making monumental strides forward.
