My mission is to help leaders not only succeed in their roles but thrive in their purpose—creating meaningful, sustainable change in their organizations and communities.
Executive Bio:
I’m an executive coach with over 20 years of leadership experience, including a decade in the corporate sector and 15 years as CEO of a national nonprofit. My background spans strategic leadership, marketing, sales coaching, change management, and executive communication—core disciplines that inform my practical, results-oriented coaching style.
Throughout my career, I’ve led high-performing teams, scaled impact, and guided organizations through complex transitions. I also bring a unique wellness perspective as a NASM-certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor, integrating health, energy management, and performance strategies to support resilient, high-impact leadership.
As a single mother of three boys, I understand the demands of leading in both professional and personal arenas. That experience has deepened my belief that the most effective leaders are those who lead from within—with clarity, authenticity, and purpose—and inspire others to do the same.
Coaching Approach
My coaching approach is holistic, strategic, and purpose-driven—designed to meet leaders where they are and elevate them to where they’re meant to be.
I blend:
- Strategic insight to sharpen vision, decision-making, and organizational impact
- Emotional intelligence to deepen self-awareness, empathy, and relational leadership
- Wellness and performance principles to support sustainable energy, resilience, and clarity
Grounded in real-world leadership and the lived experience of balancing high-stakes roles—professionally and personally—I help leaders align mindset, mission, and well-being to create meaningful, lasting impact in their careers, organizations, and lives.
