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 explored various roles across diverse industries, building professional expertise in public health, high tech, real estate, nonprofit, personal development, and education. I've worked in startups, small businesses, corporations, and government, taking on roles such as technical writer, marketer, communications director, entrepreneurship coordinator, and internal communications coordinator. The common thread through it all? Communication—the cornerstone of effective leadership.

consider the possibilityWhere does coaching fit in?

After experiencing the transformative power of coaching in my own life, I eagerly pursued as much coach training as I could find. I was inspired to guide others through their own journeys of exploration and achievement. Along the way, I’ve earned multiple coaching certifications and worked with a diverse range of clients, including entrepreneurs, business owners, nurses, HR executives, managers, leaders, and teams.

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.
