Thoughtful guidance shaped by professional experience and real life.

My Background

Before becoming a coach, my career spanned government, academia, and industry, with more than 25 years of experience working at the intersection of science, healthcare, and technology.

My path began in biomedical engineering and eventually led to a PhD in neuroscience. Along the way, much of my work involved mentoring, guiding teams, strategic planning, and helping people think through complex decisions. Coaching felt like a natural extension of that work; I am certified through Coach Training Alliance (CTA).

Outside of work, I enjoy learning, spending time with my family, volunteering in my community, and planting trees. A portion of my fees supports the Arbor Day Foundation.

A Bit of Real Life

Like many people I work with, I understand how much midlife can ask of us.

 I’m a working parent of two kids, and over the past several years our family experienced the loss of both of my husband’s parents. That season involved the same things many families face: increased demands, chaotic schedules, medical decisions, shifting family roles, career changes, and learning how to care for others while still taking care of yourself.

 I also manage my own chronic health challenges, which has deepened my appreciation for the connection between physical health, stress, and emotional well-being.

 None of this makes me an expert on your life. But it does mean I understand that the challenges of this stage are real, layered, and rarely solved with simple advice.
