About Me

Pronouns: She/her/hers

With more than a decade of coaching experience and leading learning experiences for thousands of adults, I take pride in creating individualized experiences. For me, nothing is one-size-fits-all. I love working with teams and individuals to figure out that unique element that will help them flourish. When I’m not coaching or facilitating I’m probably with my dog Neville Longbottom, reading historical fiction, watching science fiction, or travelling with friends and family.

My Values

Curiosity

There is not a fact I’ve met that I didn’t enjoy. The more stories, ideas, and things I can learn the better.

Humility

I have an obligation to recognize the limitations of my perspective and intellect. There is so much I have to learn from others.

Authenticity

I am who I am and invite my clients to show up as their full selves too.

Silliness

In the seriousness of life, I know that laughter and levity are sometimes the things we need to help us see clearly.
