The Owl Canyon Experience

Leadership Coach & Organizational Development Consultant | Northern Colorado

Real leadership is built on trust, clarity, and human connection.

Like many of you, my career didn’t follow a straight line, but it’s always had one thread: understanding how people grow. I learned leadership on the floor of a fast-paced restaurant, honed large-scale program design leading professional development across multiple schools, and built ground-up leadership programs at a national consulting firm.

Today, through Owl Canyon Consulting, I bring my life’s experience directly to growing businesses. I specialize in resolving team friction, integrating emotional intelligence with business performance, and delivering actionable leadership cohorts.

Core Focus: Executive Coaching (ICF-traveled) | Team Conflict & Alignment | Psychometric Assessments (Hogan, DiSC, PDP, MBTI, CliftonStrengths) | Leadership Cohorts

Credentials:
M.A., Educational Psychology (University of Northern Colorado) · B.S., Behavioral Science/Education (University of Northern Colorado) · Hogan Assessment Certified (HPI, HDS, MVPI) · PDP/ProScan Certified · CliftonStrengths Certified Coach · Cornell University, Performance Leadership & Executive Leadership · ICF certification in progress
Whether you’re an HR leader looking for a partner who can build something that actually sticks, or a leader who wants a coach who gets it, here’s what I want you to know: I want to leave people more confident than I found them, help them build habits that create the life they actually want, and help them show up for what they care about. I still think about that restaurant sometimes. Turns out I’ve been doing this work since I was ten.

Why Owl Canyon?

Owl Canyon is a quiet stretch of road just north of Fort Collins and one of my favorite places to ride my bike. The open landscape has a way of slowing things down, quieting the daily noise, and helping me see things more clearly.

I chose the name because I want our work together to feel like that open road: a space to breathe, gain perspective, and find your footing. Sometimes it is about clearing the mind, sometimes it is about digging deep to find the fortitude inside, and sometimes it’s just about doing the dang thing!

Endurance isn’t about pushing through with brute force. It’s about pacing, mental grit, and knowing the strength to climb the next hill is already inside you. I’m not going to pedal the bike for you, and you wouldn’t want me to. I’ll ride right alongside you as you discover just how capable you really are.
