I’m passionate about building stronger communities through leadership development, good governance practices, and meaningful public engagement. At MSU Extension, I work across Michigan to help local and Tribal governments strengthen their leadership skills, run more effective meetings, and navigate conflict with confidence. I deliver training on facilitation, parliamentary procedure, Real Colors®, and communicating through conflict—helping groups work better together, even when conversations get tough.
