M.S., SPHR, ACC, SHRM-CP

About

I’m driven by a deep commitment to helping others realize their potential.

Coaching is my passion and my mission. Over the past thirty years in human resources, I’ve embarked on an incredible journey of discovery; one that has shown me the power of relationships, growth, and resilience. Since formally stepping into the world of coaching in 2016, I’ve had the privilege of working with everyone from individual contributors to senior executives. I believe that great leaders aren’t born.  They are made through trust, learning, evolution, and intention.

If there’s one defining trait of my career, it’s this: I build strong, lasting relationships. My network has grown from the very first days of my post-undergrad journey at Indiana University and remains one of my greatest joys. I believe life is meant to be lived fully, work should bring you joy, and laughter is one of the greatest gifts we can share.

My expertise and commitment

My diverse background includes industries like human services/behavioral health, defense, government, higher education, banking, museums, and retail. I hold an M.S. in Management, Strategy, and Leadership from Michigan State University/summa cum laude, hold an ACC from ICF (International Coaching Federation), and maintain both SPHR and SHRM-CP certifications. As a lifelong learner, I’m committed to helping others grow.  It matters not the age and stage you are in, because I believe growth is the secret to a fulfilled, inspired career and life.

As Maya Angelou so beautifully said, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” My mission is to ensure that you feel empowered, capable, and ready to achieve your aspirations.

Here are some areas we might explore during your coaching journey:

• Leadership development tailored to your unique strengths
• Strategic planning to align your vision with actionable goals
• Elevating employee engagement and team collaboration
• Cultivating meaningful professional and personal relationships
• Managing stress and avoiding burnout with confidence
• Finding balance between your professional and personal lives
• Designing a personalized roadmap for a future you’re excited about
• Overcoming imposter syndrome and embracing your value
• Leading through organizational change with clarity and resilience
• Ensuring your voice is heard and valued within your workplace

No matter your goals, my approach prioritizes creating a psychologically safe space; a space where you can explore, question, and grow without fear of judgment. Together, we will uncover strategies to amplify your impact and navigate challenges with strength and grace.
