Empowering Leaders for Lasting Impact and Resilience
A Bay Area native with a deep-rooted passion for community and growth, I bring years of diverse experience in executive communications, public health, and mental health to my work, from leading high-profile events featuring speakers like President Barack Obama at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium to being the inaugural Head of Communications and Marketing and later a Chief Communications and Marketing Officer I’ve built a career centered on creating meaningful impact. Along the way, I’ve crafted speeches for city mayors and executives, co-written keynote presentations, and worked with influential organizations like the Golden State Warriors, Black Infant Health, and KQED to champion diversity, foster inclusivity, and inspire lasting change. Guided by a commitment to creating supportive ecosystems, I hold a Master’s in Public Health from San Jose State University and a Master’s in Social Work from UC Berkeley. My journey has been about balancing my own growth alongside raising a family and navigating the challenges that come with being an introvert in executive spaces. With resilience, I’ve defied expectations, turning mountains into pebbles and transforming challenges into pathways for growth. Whether supporting 3,000 San Francisco city employees through trauma-informed initiatives or collaborating with over 25 community organizations in Oakland, my work has always focused on fostering environments where people can thrive. I know that true leadership and personal growth go hand-in-hand; my goal as a coach is to help clients navigate with confidence, resilience, and clarity. Grounded by two guiding principles: “You practice who you are” and “Faith and fear both believe in a future that hasn’t happened yet,” I’m here to help you build the confidence, strategy, and self-awareness to succeed on your own terms. If you’re ready to turn your mountains into pebbles, let’s work together. How can I help you reach your goals?
