About

You can be capable and hardworking and still feel unsure about your next move at work. Maybe you’re starting a new role, navigating a difficult manager, preparing for an interview, or taking on more responsibility without clear expectations. I help professionals and leaders understand what’s happening, identify their options, and take practical steps forward. Some of the things we can work on together: • Starting a new role and building a clear plan for your first 90 days • Navigating manager relationships, feedback, and workplace dynamics • Strengthening communication, boundaries, and self-advocacy • Managing a heavy workload and setting realistic priorities • Growing as a leader and handling people-management challenges • Preparing for interviews or deciding what comes next in your career I bring over 15 years of experience across human resources, leadership development, recruiting, training, and large-scale programs, including roles at Amazon and Coca-Cola. That experience gives me insight into how organizations work, how performance is evaluated, and what leaders look for. My approach combines coaching with practical guidance. I’ll ask questions to understand your situation, help you think through your options, and share relevant tools and perspective. Depending on what you need, we might prepare for a difficult conversation, build an onboarding plan, practice interview answers, or work through a career decision. You don’t need to have everything figured out before we meet. Schedule a free intro call, and we can talk about what you’re navigating and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Why do I coach?

Throughout my career, I’ve seen capable people struggle because expectations were unclear, support was missing, or they were left to figure things out on their own. One of my strengths is taking something that feels complex or overwhelming and making it easier to understand. I get fulfillment in helping people untangle what’s happening, see their options more clearly, and find a manageable next step. I coach because I want to share what I’ve learned and help people feel more confident navigating their own challenges. Sometimes that means offering practical guidance, sometimes it means asking questions, and sometimes it means giving someone space to work through a situation with a person who is in their corner.
