Biography
I’m an executive and team coach who helps high-achieving leaders unlock clarity, elevate their impact, and navigate defining moments—and helps teams build trust, collaboration, and performance when it matters most. With a deep background in culture, talent development, and workplace wellness, I partner with clients to align their leadership with purpose—so they can lead with confidence, integrity, and results.
With a proven track record across industries, including professional services firms like PwC, financial institutions like Quicken Loans, federal agencies like FEMA, and nonprofits such as the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, leaders come to me at inflection points—whether they're (re-)designing what success looks like, preparing to step into a bigger role, or deciding what's next. Together, we transform uncertainty into direction and momentum.
I hold certifications as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC), Certified Team Performance Coach (CTPC), and National Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC), and I integrate strategic insight with emotional intelligence to help leaders move forward with clarity. My coaching specializations include executive presence, career reinvention, team dynamics, and values-aligned leadership.
Recognized as a "Top 100 People Leader," "Culture Pioneer," and "Visionary in Inclusive Talent Leadership," my work has been featured in top-tier publications such as Forbes, Fortune, HR Daily Advisor, Inc., and Money. I am also part of the Industrial-Organizational (I/O) Psychology graduate teaching staff at Harvard University, serve on the People & Culture Strategy Institute faculty, and am a contributing author to leadership books The Female CEO and A View from the Top: Exceptional Leadership Strategies for Women.
If you're standing at a crossroads or preparing for what’s next—let’s talk. You don’t need all the answers to take the first step. Together, we’ll chart a path that’s bold, clear, and true to you.
