About Amy
A transformative coach with a strong background in HR, HSE, and risk management, I specialize in unlocking potential and driving meaningful change through a values-based approach. I help clients gain clarity, build self-awareness, and lead with authenticity. Known for my results-oriented mindset, I work with individuals and teams to navigate complexity, build trust, and achieve strategic goals. With a talent for quickly understanding diverse environments and cultivating high-impact relationships, I deliver coaching that inspires growth, resilience, and purpose-driven action.
Why do I coach?
I coach because I love it. I love seeing people connect with who they really are and what they want out of life to make values based decisions. I specialize in career transition as I find myself drawn to people who want to make a positive change and see the possibilities of doing things differently so they can have a more fulfilling and rewarding career. I also love the variety of challenges career coaching encompasses.
