Coaching is a second act for me, a bold pivot after a successful 30-year marketing career. Of those 30 years, I spent 17 in the produce industry, including leading the marketing team at the National Mango Board (NMB).

It was during my NMB career that I first found a coach to help me navigate a leadership challenge. The experience transformed my leadership style, up-leveled my team’s results and changed my life forever. The coaching process was a fit for me like nothing had been before.

That spark of interest in coaching ignited into a burning passion to help others create meaningful change in their own lives. I'm now a Certified Professional Coactive Coach (CPCC) trained by the Coaches Training Institute (CTI) in their rigorous, year-long program. This highly respected organization has trained more than 150,000 coaches and leaders across the globe over the past three decades. More recently, I've been trained and mentored by Shirzad Chamine, author of Positive Intelligence, in the life-changing mental fitness framework. As a member of the trailblazing pilot group to test the certification program, I hold certificate #7 as a Certified Positive Intelligence Coach (CPQC).

Additional training in neuroscience, team coaching, and other modalities has prepared me to serve my clients through their toughest challenges in leadership and life.
