Welcome

I am happy you are here! In case you are wondering...

When I'm not doing this, I enjoy spending time with my BFF (my handsome husband), playing golf, having fun with my adult children, and spending time with my granddaughter. I also enjoy gardening, cooking, and pondering the meaning of this journey called Life.

In 2018, I founded Sliver Moon Consulting, helping organizations, people, and myself bring more light to their corner of the world.

..... But how did I get here? Well, it was and still is a Journey...

Every consultant has a story.

When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being the person in the bank's drive-through window, handing out money and lollipops.

My 18+ years in financial services fulfilled that dream.

Blessed to have four children who are now grown.

My mantra is 'Keep 'Em Alive till 25,' and *ALL* them have made it!

I was young and grew up with my kids. I outLIVED the critics, outLOVED the cynics, and outLASTED it all.

I worked as a volunteer and also did some wedding coordinating and medical transcription (that was a job back then!)

Many years were spent organizing various events, including worship experiences, retreats,

business networking groups, and hosting mentoring classes for women.

I served on nonprofit boards from wind-up to wind-down.

I have walked many helping navigate both accomplishments and disappointments.

Now, I assist organizations navigating all kinds of change.

I am not afraid of a flaming dumpster fire or a wild story of success. Both have their moments of brightness!

I am also here to help people, primarily women, become the gifts they are to the world and embrace Life with light, grace, and purpose.
