Whether it was a friend in 7th grade trying to navigate a relationship problem, my son needing help with a life decision, or a VP dealing with a difficult people issue, I have always felt a calling to help others. After 35 years as an experienced professional with a background in University Career Advising and Human Resources I am excited to embark on a new adventure as a certified Jay Shetty coach – helping others to reach their potential and understand their life purpose. As a member of the Global People and Culture leadership team for A-dec, Inc., I worked side-by-side with Executives and Senior Leadership across the globe to identify misalignments, facilitate organizational breakthroughs and team cohesion, and define and manage talent initiatives. To put it simply – I provided coaching to all levels of leadership and individuals needing help with a challenging situation getting in the way of their own and the company’s success.

I have also faced significant challenges in my life. I am a breast cancer survivor, experienced significant loss due to death and divorce, and supported a loved one through a difficult medical diagnosis. Through life’s ups and downs, I’ve learned how to keep hope amidst the chaos and am energized by helping others do the same.

My approach is casual and inviting. I learn by listening and asking thought-provoking questions to help my clients identify challenges, opportunities and what they desire in life and helping them identify a realistic roadmap to be the person they want to be.
