I partner with career changers, entrepreneurs and professionals to design their lives and their careers in a balanced, vibrant and intentional way, a way that delivers more of what really matters to them. Every day. At home. At work. In the middle of big life and work transitions. As a life and career coach and a personal strategist, I’ve helped my clients navigate huge life changes, build courageous plans for what’s next, find more fulfilling jobs, achieve sustainable work-life balance and wellness, get clear on their next career moves, launch and market creative businesses, and generally say YES to what they really, really want in life.
Education/Certifications: ACC credential, International Coach Federation, Advanced Coaching Program graduate, Coach University, Certified Positive Psychology Coach, Certified Career Invention Coach, Bachelors in Advanced Communications Practices, Boston University
Types Of Clients: Professionals, solopreneurs, entrepreneurs who prioritize meaningful work and work-life integration.
Favorite Part About My Job: Creating the space for my clients to think differently about where they are and what’s next—and to go get it.
Steadfast Do's and Don'ts: DO: Ask yourself what you really, really want (regularly)—and why. Know what your strengths are (they matter more than your skills). Make friends with what scares you. DON’T: Sacrifice sustainability, self-worth or self-care for a skewed view of success. Buy into outdated ideas about balance being unachievable (or believe it means doing everything right now and perfectly). Let fear or uncertainty set your limits for you.
Most important qualities of a good leader: Listening, self-awareness, leading by example/integrity, willingness to slow down.
My Advice for women starting their careers: Define your own success; don’t let anyone else define what that means for you. Know deeply what matters to you and trust that you can build a career and lifestyle that honors that. Be yourself. That’s not only enough—it’s what truly differentiates you and helps you make an impact.
Advice I wish I'd had (or had followed): That you do not have to follow a prescribed path; if you can envision it, you can create it.
Quote I live By: "There is only one success— to be able to spend your life in your own way." - Christopher Morley
