Hi, I’m Caelan! Based in Las Vegas, I currently work as a Learning Strategist at Hone, a virtual corporate training company. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me taking care of my 12 animals (including horses and potbelly pigs!), perusing bookstores, or hitting the trails for a hike!

I love facilitating with Leadership Inspirations because I get to create spaces where students feel challenged, supported, and empowered to grow. Watching people realize what they’re capable of is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do!

Bio coming soon!

Hi, I’m Hadley! I’m a Legal Studies and Psychology major at American University in Washington, D.C., where I’m also working toward a certification in Leadership and Ethical Development. Leadership development has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I love getting to help people discover their strengths, find their voice, and build real connections. My favorite part of facilitating is watching a group of strangers become a team, and eventually feel like family.

When I’m not talking about leadership, you’ll probably find me at a concert, listening to way too much ’90s R&B and rap, geeking out over history, or convincing anyone who will listen to discuss Sinners or The Odyssey for the hundredth time. I even had the chance to give a professional TED Talk on youth activism, which was an incredible experience.

Hi, I’m Jenna! I love leadership development because it helps people build confidence, learn more about themselves, and understand how to work better with others. Leadership gives people the opportunity to use their voice and make a positive impact. I think the best part about being a facilitator will be creating a welcoming space where students feel comfortable participating, learning, and being themselves. I am excited to help students grow, connect with each other, and feel supported.

Some fact about me is that I am a Sociology and Political Science double major and I love anything sports related. I grew up playing softball and basketball, and now I enjoy watching both professional and college sports. I come from a Filipino and Mexican background, so family, culture, and community have always been important parts of my life. I also love traveling and exploring new places, especially cities with good food, music, and energy.

I started with Leadership Inspirations in 2007. I am a Cofounder of Innovade Inc and work as a consultant for learning and development helping business and workforces improve how they operate.

I love being a facilitator because you are constantly learning in every situation, so there are countless opportunities for growth and improvement to provide the best possible experience for others.

Quick Facts About Me: 1) 3D printing is a recent hobby I started, 2) I’m currently writing a book on creativity, and 3) swimming between tectonic plates in Iceland was an incredible adventure.

Hi I’m Kelly and I love Chai Lattes, am a big Marvel fan, and have two cats.. I love being a facilitator because my purpose is helping people find their best, authentic selves so that they can share their gifts with the world.

Eye graduated from a BA in Sociology at Loyola Marymount University with a minor in Women’s and Gender Studies, both of which profoundly impact the way I adapt to the world around me. Eye am deeply committed to fostering resilient relationships in my community by celebrating and integrating the wisdom that comes from the lived experiences of those around me. My integrity demands that eye embody a perspective of presence and vulnerability, both as an ethic and as a practice. Witnessing others realize how impactful their authenticity can be on those around them is the most rewarding gift of this Leadership Inspirations community. Through this role eye have learned that facilitation in the classroom serves as the framework for real and sustained work, and eye am continually humbled to witness the next generations rise to meet that invitation time and time again.

Hi I’m Loraine and I love leadership development because it’s all about empowering individuals to be the best versions of themselves. The best part about being a facilitator is creating a supportive and inclusive environment where everyone’s voice is heard and valued. 

A fun fact about me is I love all things food: cooking, eating, baking, trying out new restaurants. My name is a mix of my two older sisters’ names: Lalaine and Lorilyn and I’d like to think I take on different aspects of both their personalities as well. I also hope to teach abroad in the near future.

I am currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Curriculum and Instruction as well as my credentials in Multiple Subject Teaching and Mild to Moderate Special Education.

Hi everyone my name is Merim! Something’s I love about leadership development and being a facilitator is getting the opportunity to see individuals come out of their shell, embrace their confidence and their own selfs.

Hello I’m Morgan and I love to cook and bake, I have a goal to visit every Disney park in the world,and I fall asleep during almost every movie I watch. I think the best thing about being a facilitator is getting to pass along leadership lessons that others have taught me.

Hi, I’m Sarah and I love that leadership isn’t about being the loudest or most in charge; it’s about learning to lead from within—and that kind of growth is contagious.

The best part of being a facilitator is witnessing those “lightbulb moments”—when someone realizes something new about themselves or feels truly seen for the first time. I love designing spaces where people feel safe to explore, take risks, and connect with each other in real ways. Being able to guide those moments of discovery is such a privilege.

I’m currently building Popsights, a workplace wellness app that helps people grow emotionally and professionally using anonymous insights and self-awareness tools. Previously, I worked in org culture/L&D in tech designing internal trainings, and supporting people-first culture strategy. I’ve also done facilitation work for everyone from startups to middle schoolers and love adapting to different environments and energy levels. 

Some other fun facts about me are: I auditioned for the Oscar Mayer nationwide singing competition as a kid! I’m currently renovating a 1980s RV to live and travel in (slowly but surely). I’m a huge nerd for emotional intelligence, systems thinking, and helping people find language for their inner world.
