My journey to founding emPowered Workplace Dispute Resolution began with my own experiences as a business owner. After running several small businesses over three decades, I became all too familiar with the stress, frustration, and burnout caused by ongoing employee issues. Despite my legal experience and business acumen, I realized that resolving workplace disputes was often the most challenging and draining aspect of managing a company.

Determined to find a better way, I created emPowered to help other business owners and
leaders avoid the same pitfalls. I recognized that many organizations struggle with employee disputes not because they lack policies, but because they lack the right strategies to address issues early and effectively. Our mission is to provide businesses with expert-driven, customized solutions that ease the burden of managing workplace issues, allowing leaders to focus on growth and success.

My deep understanding of both the legal and human sides of business management enables her to bridge the gap between company goals and employee relations. I crafts tailored, results- driven strategies designed to resolve disputes quickly, fairly, and with minimal disruption to the business.

When I’m not helping organizations navigate complex employee matters, I enjoy an
active, balanced lifestyle. I’m passionate about golfing, skiing, playing the piano, and cooking.

I enjoy spending quality time with my husband and friends, attending sporting events, and
sharing a home-cooked meal. My commitment to living fully and authentically inspires my work, reflecting my belief that businesses thrive when people feel empowered, respected, and understood.
