Evolve & Echo was born from my fundamental belief that we were made to grow and connect.

e·volve

/ēˈvälv/

verb
develop gradually, especially from a simple to a more complex form.

ech·o

/ˈekō/

verb
(of a sound) be repeated or reverberate after the original sound has stopped.

People and businesses were meant to evolve. It’s how you grow that makes the difference.

And if you want to make a lasting impact and maintain momentum—to echo—you must become clear about why you are doing what you’re doing and put your business, life, and wellness plans in motion.

A little bit about me…

Shameless artist.

Art is my soul’s home. I love to paint, draw, and write songs, stories, poetry and articles. My husband and I used to be be in a band, and I create commission paintings. I minored in fine art and creative writing and do both on a regular basis.

Adventure seeker.

I’ve gotten lost in Rome, swam with sharks in Belize, taken a bus into downtown Cancun late at night on accident (sorry, Mom), carried a toddler on my shoulders at Stonehenge, and more. Sometimes I seek adventure. Sometimes it finds me.

Brain advocate.

I love brains and the people who have them. I advocate for mental health by serving on the board of directors as an executive committee member and chair of the marketing committee for the St. Louis chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.

Quality time lover.

I spend quality time with quality people, and my family comes first. I also enjoy having quality time with myself—hiking, coffee time on my deck, sitting in a sauna. But I’m always open to bringing new friends into the fold!

My values

Progress over perfectionism

Courage over fear

Feedback over “failure”

Growing over settling

Balance over burnout

Integrity over everything
