Consulting Approach


I value consistent, detailed responsiveness and clear communication in my practice. Compliance and risk management requires diligence and a commitment to integrity and thoroughness—I embrace the difficult work necessary as both a preventative and responsive approach to problem solving.

I emphasize accountability and flexibility with the understanding that obstacles can be an exciting opportunity to learn and grow. I am self-propelled in taking action that fosters an environment of collaboration, trust, and creativity.

Consultations are highly personalized with every assessment tailored specifically to the needs of that client. Together we can build a better process for boldly engaging with some of the most challenging decisions along your path.

It’s time to take that next scary step.

Why “And So It Begins”?


I grew up in a household that was deeply immersed in science-fiction literature and media. Watching sci-fi movies and TV series was a family activity that I recall with fondness. Rather than being just enjoyable explorations of fantastic worlds, these stories helped me frame the complexities of large sociopolitical structures and competing agendas.

Our company name is a direct reference to the uttering of a sage and mysterious figure at a critical moment in a major story arc: it is both its own warning of what might come to pass but also a recognition of the possibilities of this rich and storied life.

Thus, I do my work under the purview of the company that my mother started many years ago, both as a way of honoring her ongoing legacy and a demonstration of my own commitment to the long process of societal change. I am building on the foundation of those in my family and across many borders who have persistently advocated for engaged community, institutional integrity, and fierce compassion.

Communication. Collaboration. Consistency.

We can make this happen.
