Life is best when when driven by passion. And even better when lived to help others discover greatness inside of themselves.

I'm a full-time operations director for private personal training business that changed my own life, called Bodies by Burgoon. My talented trainers ignited something inside of me that helped me find new strength, unearth new passion, and lose 130 pounds. Now I get to use everything I've learned throughout my entire career with giant corporations to build a small business beside my closest friends where I get to see lives changed for the better, literally every day. On the side , I still operate Simplicity Communications (freelancing and consulting for Fortune 500 companies, non-profits, business start-ups, and incredible people).

The formal summary:

A thoughtful, collaborative, articulate and accomplished business strategist known for providing insightful counsel, critical thinking, and bringing a human face and voice to organizations. Obsessive about efficiency, communication, positioning, understanding different perspectives, learning something from every situation, and building relationships to grow and protect organizations. Focused on getting-to-done with the customer in mind by managing cross-functional teams to complete successful projects. A believer in the power of engaged and informed people (inside or outside of organizations). Values organizational culture and heart, and a believer in staying true to who you are.
