In addition to representing employees, Bree is a consultant and speaker helping leaders who feel stuck or continue to run into "the way we've always done things", working to improve work culture from the inside out. With over 12 years of legal operations and strategy experience partnering with executives and businesses, Bree leads transformational efforts to energize workplaces and departments to be highly profitable, human-centered, and progressive organizations.
