My Journey to PurposeFit
PurposeFit was born from both professional experience and personal transformation. Throughout my career, I have helped leaders, employees and organizations navigate change, strengthen engagement, develop talent and create environments where people can thrive.
​
My personal journey has also taught me that real transformation requires more than information. It requires faith, self-awareness, structure, support and the courage to address the whole person.
​
After losing more than 100 pounds and navigating my own seasons of emotional eating, reinvention and renewed purpose, I began to see how closely our spiritual, emotional, physical and professional lives are connected. PurposeFit brings those lessons together to help women and organizations move forward with greater clarity, confidence and intention.

Before
After Losting 100+ Pounds
The Transformation That Changed My Life
I know personally what it means to struggle with weight, confidence, consistency and starting over. At my highest weight, I weighed more than 250 pounds. Through faith, education, movement, mindset work and sustainable lifestyle change, I lost more than 100 pounds.
​
But the transformation was never only physical. It required healing, self-awareness, discipline, self-acceptance and a renewed understanding of who I was created to be.
That experience continues to shape the way I coach, teach and support others today. It is one of the reasons I believe lasting change must address the whole person—spirit, soul, body, career and purpose.
My Vision
My vision is to see women and organizations become fit for purpose—spiritually grounded, emotionally whole, physically well, professionally equipped and clear about the impact they are called to make.
​
Through PurposeFit, I create coaching, consulting, speaking and learning experiences that help people move beyond feeling stuck or fragmented and begin living and leading with greater alignment, confidence and purpose.
