IF YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW

When I entered my forties, I realized it was time for a career change.  

With over 25 years of experience as a digital design strategist and product development consultant, I had worked at the forefront of many emerging technologies. My contributions spanned healthcare, finance, automotive, transportation, communications, education, and non-profits. While I experienced many opportunities to lead innovative projects and initiatives, it was leading and collaborating with teams that left the deepest impact on me.  

This realization inspired me to embark on a transformative journey to become a professional coach.  

Since then, I’ve worked with many small business owners, emerging leaders, seasoned executives, and their teams. Fostering their leadership competencies, self-awareness, strategic thinking, building high-performing teams, and implementing productivity strategies.  

Coaching has also led me to unexpected paths. I’ve worked with high-performing athletes, couples, and men, young and older, seeking purpose, direction, and deeper connections.

I firmly believe that fulfillment is a natural state of being and a divine right. The journey toward a fulfilling life and your authentic self is a radical act - a rite of passage for everyone to explore. It’s my  purpose is to guide you there.
