Sydney’s Career Coaching Qualifications
Experience level: Executive
60+ Career Coaching clients
Welcome! I’m a certified life coach (Erickson Coaching International, ICF-accredited) with 10+ years leading People Operations at companies like Grammarly, CZI, Confluent, and Dropbox. I specialize in career and relationship coaching—because I believe that a better life begins with better relationships, and at the heart of everything we do—whether at work or home—is connection. Coaching has been transformative in my own life, and I’m passionate about creating that same space of clarity and growth for others. There’s no greater joy than helping someone move forward with purpose and confidence. My style is empathetic, intuitive, and rooted in asking thoughtful, perspective-shifting questions that help you rediscover your strength and direction. I’ve supported over 60 professionals across industries and life stages. Education: BBA from Simon Fraser University; executive programs at Stanford GSB and UC Berkeley Haas. If you’re navigating a transition, craving more alignment, or feeling stuck—let’s connect and chart your next chapter, together.
