About

My early career fizzled fast

I went to a top-rated business school to learn how to be an accountant...until I took my first accounting class. 

It was an eye-opening experience. One class in, and I soon dreaded a career filled with assets, liabilities, and expenses. Struggling in my dorm room one night, my vision crumbling around me, I realized I no idea what I wanted to do. After much soul searching, I finally decided to switch to the most "generic" major available, Business Communication. I figured that if I knew how to communicate, I could apply those skills anywhere. (I was right.)

How my career evolved

Over the years, I've worked in a lot of places, exploring a lot of roles. I've cultivated professional expertise from a wide range of industry settings and environments including public health, high tech, real estate, nonprofit, personal development, and education. I've worked at startups, small businesses, corporations, and government. I've been a technical writer, marketer, communications director, entrepreneurship coordinator, internal communications coordinator, and more. The common thread? Communication....the cornerstone of leadership.

consider the possibilityWhere does coaching fit in?

After I experienced the power of coaching in my own life, I hungrily gobbled up all the coach training I could find. I couldn't wait to lead others through their own explorations and accomplishments. On the journey, I've achieved a number of various coach certifications and worked with a range of clients. I've coached entrepreneurs, business owners, nurses, HR executives, managers, and leaders. 

What makes me different

I blend two areas of expertise—coaching and communication—to help you stretch, challenge yourself, and show up in a more powerful way. My coaching is about helping you make your desired impact while being yourself, honoring your values, and preserving your sanity.
