Welcome to The HOP Community! I'm very glad you're here... These conversations, this information, these ideas - they are powerful! Thank you for being a part of our little (but growing) community.
With all of these AWESOME introductions happening, I wanted to take a few minutes to properly introduce myself.
Who I am as a professional...
I am the independent Human and Organizational Performance practitioner of The HOP Nerd LLC, the author of multiple books focused on the safety of work and the safety profession - the most recent being "10 Ideas to Make Safety Suck Less" - and the host and producer of The HOP Nerd Podcast.
I'm an experienced safety and HOP practitioner, accomplished author, passionate speaker, and respected consultant and coach. I work with clients throughout industry, providing services to organizations operating in manufacturing, healthcare, construction, oil & gas, mining, power generation, utilities, and more, with a focus on operationalizing HOP and creating sustainability along the way.

The more interesting bits...
Aside from eating, breathing, and living HOP; I focus on spending time with my amazing family, gardening, painting, playing music, and tinkering with my old 1967 Mustang.
We have an AMAZING 8-year-old daughter (8 going on 18) who keeps us quite busy (It’s harder to get time on her calendar than mine!🤣). From cheer competitions, to gymnastics, to music, and school activities, life is a very fun and very wild ride!
My husband works as an executive leader in healthcare and also owns and operates a start-up – IV Nerd LLC – that provides concierge IV therapy services to the greater Phoenix metro.
We have called the sunny and beautiful Valley of the Sun home now for nearly 15 years…
Every spare moment that we have, we spend it in Hawaii (mostly Kauai & Maui) surfing, exploring, snorkeling, and everything in between – it’s our “happy place.”
Always happy to catch up! I love connecting with people throughout our AMAZING, diverse, and beautiful community! Send me an email (thehopnerd@gmail.com) or book some time to catch up on my calendar: https://calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0/appointments/schedules/AcZssZ0WJrdPpe-EATy6FiOSEbG0WmQVeGalWlaVHPq1xjcYuMjmHRBZUuBQm28fpVsGLlW06_P8yorZ
