About Me
Listen & Lead
Who I Am
My career path has included many pivots and transitions, which taught me firsthand how challenging it can be to navigate change while staying true to what matters most. As a wife, mother, and professional, I've experienced the complexity of balancing competing priorities and the difficulty of maintaining authenticity in leadership roles.
These experiences sparked my passion for coaching others through similar challenges. I understand what it feels like to question your decisions, to feel stuck despite wanting to move forward, and to wonder if you're leading in a way that truly reflects who you are. This personal understanding, combined with my professional training, allows me to meet clients where they are and help them find their own path forward.

The Leadership Lessons I Learned the Hard Way
Early in my career, I worked under several command-and-control leaders, and while those experiences were often difficult, they shaped who I became as a leader. I was exhausted trying to succeed in environments that felt restrictive and uninspiring, but those challenges taught me what kind of leader I never wanted to be.
Through trial and error, I discovered that my strength lay in developing the people around me rather than trying to control them. I found genuine joy in watching emerging leaders grow and succeed, and I learned that the best teams are built when people feel safe to think critically and challenge ideas constructively. These experiences didn't just change how I led—they changed who I am.

Why I'm Here for You Now
With over 20 years of experience in leadership development and education, I'm currently pursuing ICF certification through Brown University's Leadership and Performance Coaching program. I bring the perspective of someone who's navigated many of the same challenges my clients face, and I'm passionate about creating a space where we can uncover the solutions that already exist within you.
