It all begins with a desire to change.
I'm a coach and creative problem solver hell-bent on helping others get the results they want at work and at home.
I'm on a mission to help ambitious, goal-oriented people get the outcomes they want at work and in life by seeing their potential, focusing their efforts, and managing their time.
A little bit about my approach...
I am a certified coach and consultant. I help my clients better understand what they want and how to get it. Raised by two “can do” parents who drilled resourcefulness and persistence, I bring creative, practical ideas aimed at solving your challenges with communication, collaboration, and buy-in.
I believe creating the happy, fulfilling life you want starts with getting clear about what’s most important to you and what’s been holding you back. From there, we work together to create practical, completely do-able strategies to get the results you want.

I am a strategic advisor to A is for Africa-- a small, family-run 501 (c) 3 giving students in Tanzania a leg up by sponsoring a daily hot lunch, access to computers and books, and improving teacher education.
I hold a BA in Political Science from James Madison University. I love my family, running, cooking, and anything furry and four-legged. I have never felt tied down to one hair color, can barely close my dresser drawers, and love looking at before and after pictures of any kind.
