“Carmen makes sure that programs are suited to the level of leader so they can apply what they’ve learned immediately on the job. In my HR role, I’ve been engaged in many conversations about who gets to – not has to – go to the programs she runs and there is never a shortage of nominations. People want their leaders in the experiences that Carmen puts together.” 

My Background

I think about career paths like the “Choose your own Adventure” books I used to love as a child.  Want to explore the cave?  Turn to page 58.  Take a swim in the river instead?  Turn to page 32.  While I didn’t know it at the time, the adventure I chose by joining Honeywell International set the foundation for the career path I have enjoyed for 20 years.  That first role in Aerospace Training was a combination of education, marketing and customer service – the trifecta of work experiences I had in my young professional career. 

Since that role, I continued to choose different paths in my career, moving from “training” to “learning,” from Aerospace to Corporate and, eventually, from Honeywell to Boeing.  Along the way, I had the amazing fortune to travel to and make dear friends all over the globe.  I am proud to have worked my way into executive level roles and feel blessed to bring that experience to my work. 

Since starting my own consulting company in 2023, I’ve taken the opportunity to work with amazing colleagues I’ve met along my career path who are now leading companies in the transportation, solid waste management and building products industries.

Why I Work

“With every new team I join or introduction I give about myself, I share that I don’t take myself too seriously, but I take my work very seriously.  Humor, passion, empathy and a sense of calm are extremely important to me. I love helping others find what is extremely important to them and how they can live that truth in their personal and professional lives.”
