Meet your Coach

I started my career in entry-level roles and worked my way up to executive leadership. That experience taught me the value of persistence, clarity, and confidence — lessons I now share with my clients every day.

My approach is practical and encouraging. We focus on what works: clarifying goals, building confidence, preparing for interviews, and staying motivated through the ups and downs of the job search.

At the heart of it, I believe every person has untapped potential — and I’m here to help you uncover it and take the next step forward with confidence.
