Experience

Before forming SDM Integrative Consulting, I was Vice President and HR Transformation Director at U.S. Bank in Minneapolis, MN. In this role, I led a team of leaders and consultants who guided company-wide change management, organization design, continuous improvement, communications, and people-centered design. While at U.S. Bank, I also served on the company's Global Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Board, advising on DEI strategy and practice. 


Previous positions at U.S. Bank included senior roles in learning and development, HR business partner leadership, organizational development, and talent and performance management. Earlier in my career, I held leadership roles in consumer banking at U.S. Bank and at Bank of America.

Education

I hold a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership from Grand Canyon University with a research emphasis on organizational change, communication, and change success. My Master's is in Organizational and Professional Communication from the University of Denver, and I also hold a Bachelor of Music from Western Oregon University. I serve as an Adjunct Faculty member at the University of Denver and at the University of Minnesota, teaching strategic HR, organizational leadership, organization development, and consulting courses. 


I have a Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) certification through the HR Certification Institute and am a Certified Virtual Facilitator through Evoke Learning. I am also certified to use The GC Index®, a people & organization assessment tool that helps individuals and teams identify and embrace the spaces where they are most energized and impactful.

Personal

It's important for me to invest my energy and heart into causes I care about, and I do this partly through board service. I am currently serving on the Board of Directors for the following Minneapolis-based organizations:  


  • Joy Collaborative, Vice Chair
  • American Indian OIC, Board Member
  • How to be Second, Board Member


My husband Jason and I have four young and three adult children and are enjoying life as newer Minnesotans. In my free time, I enjoy playing guitar and writing music, drinking excellent coffee, and having conversations that inspire me to think in new ways.


Where and how I am at my best:


  • The GC Index® | Play Maker, Polisher
  • Clifton Strengths  | Strategic, Achiever, Relator, Arranger, Individualization
