ABOUT ME
Before becoming an entrepreneur and leadership coach, I spent over 25 years in legal and client relations, where I managed high‑pressure, fast‑paced environments, complex interpersonal dynamics, and competing priorities while influencing outcomes and sound decisions under pressure. These experiences strengthened my leadership skills and gave me deep insight into what it takes to lead with clarity, confidence, and resilience, even when life felt overwhelming.
After years of pushing through and eventually succumbing to burnout, I made a pivotal shift into coaching, a move that transformed both my career and my life. It wasn't just a change in direction; it was the natural evolution of years spent developing leadership under pressure and mastering complexity with clarity. Stepping into work that aligns with my values and vision has been one of the most empowering decisions I’ve ever made. This lived experience of personal and professional transformation fuels my commitment to helping mid-career professionals create meaningful, lasting change in their leadership and their lives.
This work isn’t just what I do, it’s what I deeply believe in. My coaching goes beyond surface‑level shifts; it’s about transformation that feels grounded, authentic, and sustainable. I bring curiosity, empathy, and strategic leadership insight to every session, using practical tools and proven approaches that help clients build mental fitness, gain clarity, strengthen their confidence and resilience, and lead from the inside out. Together, we create meaningful, lasting change.
