Welcome to my profile! As a career development coach with over two decades of career development experience, I specialize in helping professionals gain clarity, build confidence, and take meaningful steps toward their next career move. Throughout my HR leadership roles, I partnered with executives to develop key talent and led career development conversations as part of succession planning, team leadership, and organizational growth. Today, I bring that same strategic insight and personal support to my coaching clients—whether they’re navigating a pivot, pursuing promotion, or strengthening their leadership skills. Known for an insightful and encouraging approach, I help clients turn potential into progress. In addition, my top CliftonStrengths theme, “Developer,” reflects my natural ability to see the potential in others and my passion for helping others grow—and it's the foundation of everything I do.

Why do I coach?

Hope is why I coach. It is so easy to get stuck in the “muck” of life, especially in our careers or unexpected set backs, and we need help getting ourselves back to who we are, living in alignment with our values and believing in ourselves again. Coaching is a way for my clients to take steps in the direction that they want to go. It requires time, effort, patience, openness and vulnerability, yet can help move you on your path. My clients often say that I help them grow, see things from a different point of view and start to believe more in themselves and their possibilities.
