My approach integrates both strategic insight and personal development, ensuring that those I coach not only grown in their professional abilities but also in their character and confidence as leaders.

I coach leaders from real operating experience, not theory alone. I’ve spent 15+ years in data and tech leadership, including leading teams, managing through complexity, and navigating the kinds of pressure, visibility, and ambiguity that shape real leadership. I understand the demands of delivering results while also building trust, influencing across functions, and helping people grow. I’ve also coached 60+ leaders, many of them high-performing professionals in tech who are ready to strengthen their presence, communication, and decision-making. My edge is that I do not coach leadership as a surface-level skill set. I coach the deeper work underneath it: clarity, identity, self-awareness, and trust. I’m also the author of Rare On Purpose and The Driver’s Seat, and that same philosophy carries into my coaching. I help leaders become more grounded, more intentional, and more effective in how they lead.

Welcome to my profile! I hold a JD from Stanford Law School and have spent several of the last years as an attorney at top firms, like DLA Piper and Fenwick & West, supporting founders, executives, and high-growth companies through complex decision-making, corporate governance, and high-pressure strategic moments. My passion for developing leaders began 10+ years ago at Vanderbilt where I coached 50+ Model UN students on public speaking, communication clarity, and storytelling. This work deepened at Stanford, where I was hired to coach graduate and undergraduate students in persuasion, impactful interviewing and navigating presentation anxiety - helping many step into competitive consulting and academic roles alike. As a former Princeton Review instructor and Career Advisor, I’ve guided students through competitive admissions and major academic milestones, including successful admission into the most prestigious graduate programs. Across all of this, one theme has stayed constant: I love helping high-achievers find clarity, confidence, and authentic presence during moments of uncertainty—whether that's a new entrepreneur navigating early challenges, a leader facing a career transition or job loss, or an applicant working toward admission to their dream graduate program. If you're at a crossroads, stepping into bigger responsibility, or simply ready to grow as a leader, let's build a personalized plan for your next chapter!
