This is the exception.

When you’re selecting a coach, it’s important to know who you’re choosing to spend time with, to know if you have rapport and a connection. I’m curious about you. And guessing you might be curious about who I am too?

I have transitioned and been transformed over the last 3 decades in my leadership career and life after receiving my undergrad degree.

I moved from NW Pennsylvania to begin my business journey as an Accountant in the Washington DC metro area. This filled my analytical head with good challenges. But there was something missing. I quickly realized I needed people, interactions and to make a bigger impact.

I found a way to use my analytical data-driven mind to serve clients in Human Resources. I felt there was more I could do and so quickly enrolled in a Masters Program to build my knowledge-base and to advance my career into leadership roles. I completed my SPHR (Senior Professional in HR) and CCP (Certified Compensation Professional) certifications while in Human Resources.

When I created time in my life for a relationship that blossomed into marriage to my own Top Gun pilot, I realized the hours I was dedicating at the workplace had to change. It was then that I switched financial services organizations so I could re-establish boundaries and there was room in my life to begin our family.

And then my life turned upside down. I hit a deep valley when I lost my oldest sister to cancer. I was stopped in my tracks and knew something had to change.

I left my Global HR leadership role and spent some time as an independent HR Consultant before deciding it was time to go internal to focus on myself and my health. After losing my sister, I found a new passion for health and educating others on ways to support their stress, sleepless nights and finding ways to support overall wellness.

Around the time the pandemic hit, like many, it was a time for reflection and another wakeup call. I realized there were more ways to serve my community and felt I was playing “small”. I took yet another Leap of Faith, completed three professional coaching certification programs through iPEC (Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching) and moved my focus to serving others to work through transitions and to be transformed.

I am an accredited coach through the ICF (International Coaching Federation) which is the gold standard in coaching. I have worked with executive and leadership clients in many Fortune 500 organizations. Some recent clients have worked at Wal-Mart, Pfizer, Hershey, Uber, PayPal, Welltower, Staples, R1 RCM, Viatris, CRH, S&P Global, EY, Vituity, Equity Residential, Booz Allen Hamilton and Lockheed Martin.

Coaches bring out your answers by being inquisitive and asking you powerful questions which uncover what’s holding you back, perhaps keeping you playing small and ignoring what you really want. On the flip side, Consultants tell you what to do and give you the answers while Mentors have gone the road before you and offer insights.

I’ve worn so many hats in my lifetime. I have listened to hundreds of clients and asked them the tough questions which helped them to get outside of their comfort zone where their growth truly happens.

I am a mom to 3 daughters, a black lab rescue dog and have been married to my love for 19 years. We have moved cross country from Alexandria Virginia to Camas Washington 3 times in the last 4 years as a military spouse all while creating my coaching business.

We love to visit the National Parks, travel extensively around the US and explore in our RV. All of the images on my website are from my travels and especially the breathtaking beauty of the PNW. I love to get out in nature to hike and love being near water. I also enjoy cooking and being crafty with our girls. The thrill of rollercoasters never gets old and now enjoy riding them with our girls.

I provide space to allow clients to be who they are to create their next best step. You’re no longer walking alone as you continue your journey to become what you most want to be in your one amazing life.

I’m curious about your journey and look forward to connecting to you.
