Team Coaches

I coach teams to move from dysfunction and disconnection into alignment, shared ownership, and meaningful impact. My approach blends systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and relationship coaching to help teams build trust, navigate complexity, and lead together. As a ORSC (Organization & Relationship Systems Coaching) practitioner, I specialize in working with leadership teams, mission-driven organizations, and startup cultures where relationships are the engine of success. Whether you’re scaling, shifting strategy, or repairing fractured dynamics—my role is to hold space, guide hard conversations, and help the team unlock its collective brilliance.

I've managed diverse teams across industries, from startups to Fortune 100 companies, equipping me with deep insights into the complexities of leading individuals and fostering high-performing teams. As a coach, I specialize in helping people managers build confidence in their leadership style, navigate difficult conversations, and develop the skills to inspire and empower their teams. My culturally informed and values-driven approach ensures that each client feels supported in addressing their unique challenges, whether they are first-time managers or seasoned leaders aiming to refine their approach.

Born and raised in Tennessee, my career quickly took three parallel directions: business (MBA and strategy consulting), psychology (another Master's degree and a 2-year residency at a meditation center), and education (teaching everything from mindfulness to test-prep to psychology at a college). These three paths have converged for the past 5+ years into professional leadership development, beginning with my time at McKinsey, and leading to hundreds of hours of coaching and advising. I've done everything from designing to delivering leadership programs, to every level from individual contributor to C-suite, for 1 person up to 3,000. I found the coaching components to be most impactful and rewarding, so I've recently taken my experiences to start my own firm, focused on executive coaching for individuals and teams. 'Executive coaching' includes any type of coaching related to someone's professional life. Common topics include: leadership, career transition, burnout, wellness, managing up, managing down, climbing the ladder, motivation, etc.

Teams are complex changing systems, and their strength and resilience greatly impacts an organization's ability to perform and succeed. What makes a great team? Not only the individual members, but the relationships between them, the leaders that step up within them, and the culture they create. With over 15 years of team development, I have coached teams through challenges and used experiential practices that help teams learn, relate, and lead together. Whether developing a team Mission, Vision and Values, using a Workstyles Assessment like DiSC, experiencing an interactive team retreat or taking part of a team coaching workshop, I tailor my coaching and work to build stronger, more resilient, communicative and engaged teams.

I transform engineering teams from firefighting to shipping with joy. After reducing cycle times by 23%, taking teams from monthly releases to daily deployments, and building cultures where junior developers safely push to production on day one, I've proven that developer happiness isn't a nice-to-have—it's your competitive advantage. When developers love their tools and trust their processes, retention improves, velocity increases, and that "impossible" project ships in a quarter. My approach combines platform engineering excellence with human-centered design. I've helped teams cut deployment risk by 80% through better CI/CD, reduced onboarding from months to days with golden path platforms, and turned 2-hour builds into 20-minute feedback loops. Whether your team is drowning in technical debt, losing top talent to frustration, or simply knows they could ship faster with less stress, I bring systematic methods to create sustainable high performance. Happy developers don't just write better code—they solve bigger problems, mentor others, and stay longer. Let's build a team culture where Monday mornings feel like opportunities, not obligations.

I am an ICF certified coach with over two decades of experience in talent development and leadership coaching. I started my career in engineering and product roles, but have spent most of my 20+ years working in talent development at large multinational tech companies. My work has ranged from new grad recruitment and success to developing programs and coaching the company’s top leadership. Today, as a Coach and Co-Founder of Together We, I help people at transition points feel less alone and more confident. One of the transition points I specialize in is managers and leaders. Leveling-up your leadership is an exciting time filled with a lot of change. Whether you’re a first time manager who is eager to start managing your team in the best possible way or you’re a senior leader who is taking on a new team or initiative, I am committed to providing you with practical tools and techniques to achieve your goals while empowering you to stay true to your (and your team's!) values. Work with me to build confidence in your ability to lead, develop, and get the most from your team!
