The Coach
I believe that coaching is a powerful tool for transformation and that a good coach is a guiding light on a client’s path to professional and personal fulfillment.
​
I empower clients to unlock hidden potential by honing core leadership skills such as communication, influence, and learning agility. By delving into their unique qualities, my clients are also empowered to become better collaborators, innovators, and decision-makers.
​
I coach with an unwavering commitment to my clients' success, supporting them before, during and after periods of transition. I enable clients to become not only better communicators but also adept managers of change who embrace personal growth with confidence and clarity.
The Professional
Having experienced leading teams by both direct and implied authority, building functions and processes where there were none, working in a number of different companies and areas during my time in corporate roles, and reinventing myself and my career multiple times, I get the context of the roles, environments, and, most importantly, of being in transition.
​
Coaching came naturally to me and I was doing that with my team members before I knew there was a name for it. Partnering with team members to help them reach their career goals became a calling and a treasured part of my job.
​
I’m living my best life as a coach and writer and volunteering as an executive mentor. I am a member of the International Coaching Federation and achieved a Certified Professional Coach designation from the University of Miami. I earned a Project Management Professional certification from the Project Management Institute (PMI) and hold degrees in computer engineering and speech communication.
The Person
I’m a mother of two boys and a rambunctious dog, a wife, and caregiver for an aging parent.
When I’m not immersed in coaching, writing, or my volunteer executive mentor role, you can find me walking or playing outdoors with my pup, strength training, solving puzzles, and spending quality time with my family. I am an avid reader and delight in discovering new music. I am also a foodie, keen on cooking and sharing new creations, and deeply appreciate good coffee.
