About Me
I’ve spent over a decade inside real organizations leading teams, navigating ambiguity, and making decisions without perfect information. As a coach, I continue helping leaders do the same more intentionally.
As a former tech operator turned executive coach and organizational development strategist, I bring rigor, warmth, and a strong bias toward action.
Although I ultimately received my formal coaching training and certification through the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), in hindsight, coaching actually chose me long ago. From championing colleagues to break free from stagnating careers in pursuit of more meaningful opportunities, to rallying loved ones to get unstuck and not let life just happen to them, I have had the privilege of championing others throughout most of my life.
While my own cancer diagnosis at 32 could have easily been remembered as one of the darkest moments in my life, the years that immediately followed were some of the most transformative and fulfilling. I gained a profound respect and appreciation for each day and learned that I am more capable, resilient and stronger than I ever knew. Little did I know that, more than a decade later, I could honestly say my battle with cancer has been a gift in many ways. I feel honored to help my clients find the opportunity in their seemingly intolerable circumstances as well.
Outside of coaching, I enjoy logging miles on my Peloton bike, playing as many sports as my body will still tolerate, keeping 90’s dance moves alive and well, cooking for my small but mighty family of three, and continually learning something new.
I hope to have the privilege of walking beside you on your journey to personal growth and transformation.
My coaching approach
My work is grounded in a simple but powerful shift: helping leaders focus on what they can control.
Together, we clarify values and priorities, define internal criteria for success, and move out of reactivity and rumination. I help leaders lead from values rather than reactions so decisions feel cleaner, confidence is steadier, and action comes more easily.
I call this approach Anchored Leadership™ — a path to leading with agency, clarity, and conviction in complex environments.
We will kick off our engagement by establishing a few meaningful goals and define what wild success would look like. Success will be defined not only through the outcomes you want to drive but the mindset, and related behaviors that will bring about those desired outcomes.
I’m committed to helping you work smarter, not harder. One concrete way of doing so is by creating a life full of productive, intentional habits. As someone who actively studies the science of habit formation and lives a life of habits enabling nutrition, fitness, mental well-being and life-long learning, I will help you identify and establish new habits that align with your personal and professional goals.
Whenever you confront a challenge, we will develop an approach full of concrete actions to help you not only overcome the particular challenge in front of you, but also one that may be repurposed elsewhere in your life.
We may leverage various resources, including self-assessments, iEQ9 Enneagram, the Leadership Circle Profile, Immunity to Change, and various other research-backed exercises to ensure a high level of self-awareness and provide you with a robust toolkit that you can use long after our time together.
I have been told that working with me is fun, energizing, direct, and productive. I’m not afraid to call you out when you’re doing something hypocritical or that conflicts with one of your important values. I will challenge you to think about others and your circumstances in a truthful yet more empowering way. You will start to ask yourself more often “How is this happening for me rather than to me?”
