WHAT I DO

I am an executive coach and organizational consultant for leaders who want to move past the surface and do the real work. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all leadership hacks. Instead, I partner with individuals and teams to establish and complete goals that are customized specifically for them based on their unique vision.

I listen, listen, listen for the stated and unstated. By asking the right questions and creating a space rooted in trust, I help you come to your own realizations about what needs to shift and why. We will look at how to balance your big business goals with your personal ones, how to have those difficult conversations you have been avoiding, and how to show up as your most authentic self.

My journey to coaching wasn't a sudden leap, but a natural evolution from three decades inside the corporate machine.

For over 30 years in healthcare and biotechnology, I lived the business from both leadership and individual contributor roles

Working across Analytics, Operations, and Strategy, I learned the intricate dance of balancing quarterly targets with long-term vision. I experienced the human challenge of leading teams through relentless change and realized that the real energy came from helping people gain clarity and grow. Whether I was a peer or a manager, those moments were the ones that genuinely filled my bucket.

Since starting my own practice, I have found a universal truth: the core challenges are always human.

Whether I am coaching marketers, lawyers, scientists or working with local businesses big and small, the work is about clarity, connection, and navigating complexity. This insight became the foundation for my coaching philosophy. I have found that the technical aspects of any role are often secondary to the human dynamics and the intentional operating rhythms that drive true success.

This is why I do what I do. Iā€™ve sat in your chair.

I know the pressure and the isolation that can come with leadership. My inspiration comes from that "aha" moment when a leader gains clarity on their vision or a team finds its rhythm and trust. I love helping leaders balance their many roles while showing up authentically, and I know what it feels like to drive change while trying to stay grounded in what matters most.

A significant part of this work involves creating space for the difficult conversations that lead to real progress.

By providing a safe and structured environment, I help leaders and teams address challenges directly and constructively. This approach transforms potential conflict into a catalyst for growth and stronger relationships. We focus on accomplishing long term outcomes while experimenting with creative ways to move forward, turning difficult moments into a foundation for collective effectiveness.

Today, I blend hard-earned business acumen with deep coaching expertise.

My 20+ years of corporate leadership is your assurance that I understand your world. My certifications as a Professional Coach, Prosci Change Practitioner, Leadership Circle Profile facilitator and Enneagram expert are the toolkit I use to help you navigate it. By blending proven tools like Design Thinking and Agile ways of working, I help you create a way of working that feels like a relief rather than a burden.

Working across Analytics, Reimbursement, Operations, Managed Care, Strategy, and Customer Engagement, I learned the intricate dance of balancing quarterly targets with long-term vision, and the human challenge of leading teams through relentless change. A pivotal shift came when I moved from Commercial to Research and Early Development, coaching brilliant scientists.

Outside of coaching, my life is centered around family, fun, and the beautiful outdoors of Virginia.

I live in Charlottesville with my daughter, Morgan, and our favorite shared passion is absolutely Taylor Swift. From dancing around the living room to seeing the Eras Tour, which was the most fun weā€™ve ever had together.Ā We are becoming huge fans of live music as we help each other broaden our music tastes.

Beyond the music, I am a Mom, Coach, and Solopreneur who loves to travel. I am a loyal San Francisco Giants fan, a voracious reader, a hiker, a sunset chaser, and a water seeker. I am also the unofficial documentarian of our life through my love of photography.

And yes, I fully embrace my guilty pleasure: reality TV. Itā€™s the perfect way to unwind.

These moments of joy, connection, and yes, even quiet downtime, are what fuel me to show up fully for my clients with energy, empathy, and a real understanding of what it means to lead a full life.
