About Engage + Empower Communications Consulting
Principal Consultant
I’m a communicator, strategist, and storyteller committed to aligning messaging with values to drive impact. Having worked at every rung of the communications ladder, I’ve navigated complex challenges, honed my strategic insight, and ultimately created my own seat at the table. I believe in the power of words to build bridges and foster authentic connections, whether at the executive level or within teams.
In 2023, a cancer diagnosis and a reckoning with burnout prompted a transformative life pivot. Leaving the corporate grind behind, I embraced a path prioritizing mental health, authenticity, and purpose. Through this journey, I’ve learned to balance empathy with accountability—principles I bring daily to my work.
I specialize in helping leaders and organizations refine their messaging and communications strategy, ensuring it reflects their core values and resonates with their people. Whether guiding executives in crafting impactful internal communications or supporting teams through transitions, I help create messages that inspire, unite, and build trust.
Outside work, I recharge outdoors with Bear, my 9-year-old chocolate lab, bake something, or dive into creative projects. Writing is my therapy and obsession—it’s where I express my truest self.
Let’s connect and explore how we can make your message as impactful and authentic as your leadership.
General Manager
Meet Bear, our beloved (and furriest) Engage + Empower Consulting general manager! At 8 years old, Bear brings calm, connection, and a bit of humour to our team. He’s an expert in nonverbal communication—whether it’s a perfectly timed head tilt, a slow blink of approval, or a gentle nudge when it's time for a well-deserved break. Bear may not be writing emails, but his presence is always felt, especially when he thinks it’s time for a walk, belly rub, or—most importantly—snack time.
Bear’s approach to leadership focuses on balance and well-being. He quickly reminds us to step away from our desks, whether with a squeaky toy dropped at our feet or an expectant look that says, “Isn’t it time for a break?” His calming influence is matched by his lightheartedness, often bringing a burst of joy during high-pressure moments with a playful stretch or spontaneous "zoomies." He has an uncanny ability to read the room, effortlessly setting the tone for a focused meeting or a creative brainstorming session.
Bear’s leadership style shows us that great communication is about more than words—it’s about presence, timing, and sometimes just knowing when to ask for a treat. He fosters a supportive, collaborative atmosphere where everyone is reminded to stay grounded and, of course, to never skip snack time.
