Creating healthier workplaces is a consuming interest of mine. Over the years, I've become increasingly convinced the key to creating positive, productive workplaces are skilled managers. 

I have trained managers and designed and facilitated teambuilding and planning retreats on four continents.

​CREDENTIALS: Professionally I've served in HR and organization development (OD) leadership roles in three industries: municipal government, global health, and higher education. I have masters degrees from USC (public administration) and the Organization Systems Renewal program of Antioch University Seattle. I'm also certified as a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) by the HR Certification Institute. In 2018 I retired from the Tacoma campus of the University of Washington where I served as the Associate Vice Chancellor for Organizational Effectiveness & Development. Almost immediately I began teaching MBA students for the Milgard School of Business there.

RECOGNITION: I was appointed a Milgard Executive in Residence in 2021. In 2018 I received the Lisbeth Claus Trailblazer Award from the HR Roundtable/Global HR Consortium, a regional forum of HR leaders. I'm a featured practitioner in the 25th anniversary edition of Marvin Weisbord's notable book on the history and practice of organization development, Productive Workplaces. Similarly, I'm featured in Lynn Gaertner-Johnston's 2013 handbook, Business Writing with Heart.

In my spare time I write poems, "The shortest distance between two people." (Lawrence Ferlinghetti) Check out my book of poems, Near Afar, available at Finishing Line Press.
