As Owner and Principal of Cresta Solutions, I serve as a strategic partner to purpose-driven leaders when they need groups to innovate and collaborate in order to deliver on strategic change initiatives. To get there, I serve as a facilitator, consultant, and executive coach who leverages expertise in Creative Problem Solving, Team Building, Organizational Change Management, and Strategic Initiatives to ensure my clients get innovation-focused results. I bring over fifteen years of diverse experiences with purpose-driven organizations across four continents. To ensure that changes work and goals are achieved, I use my facilitation superpower to supercharge team collaboration and output.
Types of client organizations include nonprofits, associations, foundations, higher education institutions, government entities, and purpose-driven companies. I regularly present at regional and international conferences on topics such as facilitation, change management, and project leadership.
I hold a Masters from The George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education & Human Development and a Bachelors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in Sociology and Global Cultures. I am certified in Strategic Planning (Strategic Planning Professional through the International Association of Strategy Professionals), Change Management, and Creative Problem Solving (FourSight®), with additional formal training in Lean Process Improvement, Project Management, and People Management.
I’ve lived in five countries, so while I bring my Midwestern friendliness, work ethic, and accent everywhere I go, I see the world through a global perspective. I’m proud to have been a teacher in South Korea, to have served as a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer in Honduras, and to be the parent of two Chicago Public School students. I consume dark chocolate daily, can talk about books all day, and think that Lake Michigan might be my soul mate. Learn more on LinkedIn.
