Welcome to my profile! With a robust background in law and business, I bring a wealth of experience to career development coaching. As a corporate attorney at a Fortune 500 company, mediator, and arbitrator, I've honed my skills in negotiation, conflict resolution, and strategic business advising. My role as a Career Design Coach for Graduate Business Students at Santa Clara University has allowed me to guide over hundreds of individuals in navigating career transitions, developing clear plans for career development, and articulating networking strategies. I am particularly passionate about conflict coaching, which brings the best of interpersonal skills development and executive coaching together to chart a path forward to reduce any manner of friction which may be preventing a project or professional relationship from reaching new levels of success. Whether you're looking to transition into a new field, refine your negotiation skills or find a thought sparring partner, I'm here to provide tailored support and insights. Let's connect and chart a course for your career success!
