As a Certified Professional Coach (CPC), I bring two decades of experience across client services, HR, and executive leadership, spanning boutique agencies to Fortune 500 organizations. Throughout my career, I have led at multiple levels: developing individuals in their roles and careers, building high-performing teams with clear measures of success, strengthening operations and processes to scale effectively, and fostering alignment across organizations while keeping people at the center.
Along the way, I discovered what drives me most: supporting the growth of others. Whether coaching individual contributors, mentoring emerging leaders, or guiding teams through transition, I help people uncover their strengths, sharpen their skills, set meaningful goals, and build momentum toward measurable outcomes.
Areas of Focus
- Leadership development for seasoned and emerging leaders
- Organizational health (operations) and team alignment during times of expansion
- Mid-career transitions
Philosophy & Approach
My philosophy is rooted in a coaching-first foundation. I hold a sincere belief in the capabilities of my clients, and I’ve seen the most meaningful progress come from relationships built on collaboration, trust, and openness.
I bring curiosity, encouragement, and a results-oriented mindset to every engagement. Sessions are structured yet flexible, adapting to the realities and goals of each client. Through reflection, accountability, and practical strategies, I help clients challenge assumptions, uncover new perspectives, and take purposeful action.
Outside of Work
- Cooking is both a creative outlet and my way to unwind.
- Listening (and singing along, off-key!) to vinyl records is my favorite way to start an evening.
- Cheering for my beloved Wisconsin sports teams brings me equal parts joy and stress.
- Daily workouts are my mental reset as much as my physical practice.
- Traveling with my husband and two school-aged boys — especially exploring history and food in new places — is where I feel most grounded.
