i believe in heartbeats;
elevated, sweaty, pounding kinda beats.

i am devoted to joy.
i am certain that you can change your life today.

I believe that when you do what makes your heart beat faster, you will inevitably make a dent in the universe. You will inspire someone to move their body, dream a bigger dream or launch that business that was scribbled out on the back of a napkin.

Together, we will change the world, one elevated heart beat at a time.

I started my career in the executive search space, where I learned that new career opportunities change peoples lives. I’ve since remained insatiably curious about uncovering human potential in all areas of our lives from our daily vocation to meaningful relationships to sweaty pursuits and beyond.

Once upon a time, I finished 26 Ironman races; sport had become my art and my desire to sweat is simply a way of life. I have many untapped goals and hairy dreams, yet currently I’m running miles before the sunrises, equally devoted to growing ViRTUS, a leadership development consultancy and my gorgeous garden.

I live, work and play from my home tucked in the mountains of Squamish, BC. If I’m not lost adventuring in the trails or forging mushrooms, I’m probably chasing my bernedoodle, Bernie or baking cookies. You are always welcome to stop by for a treat!

these are the moments i’m most proud of:

I wrote a book: The Now What

The Now What began as a digital program designed for you if you had lost your job, quit your job or wanted a new job. It was created to be a sprint - a one week long course to help you get super clear on what you are after and what matters most to you in your next role. This program has helped transform the choices people are making by supporting them in getting super clear on what they want and how to take actionable steps to getting there. The course was so well received -- The Corker Collective made it into a book that sold out in 2023!

I started a company: The Corker Collective

In 2014, I started The Corker Collective. Passionate about the power of people, I wanted to add human horsepower to purpose-driven organizations. I had the pleasure of leading an incredible team, learning every leadership lesson possible and loving every Monday as if it were a Friday. What began as a recruitment business, grew to become deeply invested in leadership development and personal transformation. Our mission was to renovate what was possible in your life so that you could love every moment, even the tough ones. Our big idea was that: YOU can change your life today.

In 2024, we closed the recruitment side of the practice and sold the leadership development business to ViRTUS Inc., where our signature programs are still available to transform how you lead with heart.

I won a race: Ironman Canada 2016

Growing up as a competitive swimmer, I was never sure there was a life beyond the black line in the bottom of the pool. Lucky enough, I moved west in 2004 and quickly discovered a love of running in the trails, triathlons and most of all: adventure. This quest for the endorphin-high has taken me across Ironman finish lines (including the 2016 Ironman Canada amateur win!), copious marathon start lines and bagging heaps of mountain peaks. While my sweaty goals continue to shift, my desire to uncover what’s humanly possible (for me!) is hardly satiated.

What I do know for sure is that it is never about the start line, yet rather who you become along the way to toeing the line.

I baked 4000 cookies for the Whistler Gran Fondo!

I hosted a podcast: Uncorked

Actually, who are you not to be?"
