From Navy Psychologist to Workplace Resilience Expert
Why I Do This Work
Stress has always been part of the job. But when it becomes chronic, it drains talent, lowers productivity, and erodes leadership. I saw it early in my career when I was a Navy psychologist teaching stress management to medical staff and active-duty members. And I’ve seen it again and again in corporate boardrooms, hospitals, and classrooms over the last three decades.
I created Sustained Success to bridge the gap between awareness and lasting change. This isn’t about quick fixes. It’s about helping teams and leaders make stress recovery a part of how they work and live—so they don’t burn out or lose their edge.
