My coaching expertise
I have several years of experience as a sales and human resources professional, helping professionals reach their dreams and potential. My career experience is in recruiting, training, communications, and career development. I have helped people of all audiences like students, early talents, professionals, return-to-work, managers, and executives reach their career goals. Moreso, I've navigated my own career transitions: from transitioning industries to transitioning job functions.
Outside of my professional work, I also worked as a track and field coach, so I bring performance psychology to my coaching to help you break down your goals into simple, attainable action steps.

My philosophy & coaching methodology
When I asked my clients to describe my coaching style, they said I was approachable, encouraging, and empathetic.
​
I aim to create a space where my clients are energized to act. I start by leading with transparency and integrity, you can always ensure that I will tell it as it is, be honest, and do the right thing. To energize my clients, I help create actionable goals that they can follow that fits their life. Being that I have human resources, sales, and sports experience, I like to marry those worlds. So, as a coach, you can expect me to focus on goals and actions as well as changing your internal dialog to help you get there.
