From Reluctant Leader to Empowered Coach

Leadership found me—long before I ever went looking for it.

In my corporate career, I encountered a wide range of leadership styles and held many leadership roles—often without seeking them. I was a reluctant leader at first, leaning on the confidence others had in me until I began to believe it myself. I was comfortable behind the scenes, supporting others. But over time, I realized that leadership doesn’t always wear a title—it’s about influence, connection, and trust.

​

As a certified Project Management Professional (PMP), I came to believe that everyone is a leader, even if they don’t see themselves that way yet. That belief, combined with my natural compassion and ability to connect with people, shaped my leadership style—and led me to become a certified Professional Coach.

Now… I’ve always had a passion for self-care. So it made perfect sense to marry that passion with my coaching training and project management skills—and apply it to the most important project I’ll ever work on: ME.

​

That journey is what fuels my work today. I bring all of it—my experience, energy, and insight—into a powerful coaching concept that helps clients become more self-aware, more confident, and more aligned with how they show up both in and out of the workplace.

I partner with leaders—and yes, that means you—to help you show up more fully and confidently in all the roles of your life. Because whether you're leading a team, a household, a dream, or your own personal transformation, you are a leader.

​

Looking back, I now realize that my boss of 20+ years was my first leadership coach. Her wisdom and support helped shape the professional—and the woman—I became. I held onto her advice like gold, and my confidence grew in ways I never imagined. Since then, I’ve continued to learn from exceptional leaders, and now I’m paying it forward as a coach.

 

👇 Maybe you can relate…

​

  • Are you struggling to set goals—and stick to them?

  • Are you overwhelmed with life and can’t seem to find time for YOU?

  • Are you trying to birth a personal or professional project but feel stuck?

  • Are you curious about coaching and how it actually works?

 

I’ve been there. I had those same questions when I was standing at the edge of who I was… and who I wanted to become.

​

That moment was the beginning of something powerful — and it’s where The CARE Framework™ was born: my signature coaching method designed to support sustainable self-care, clear boundaries, and intentional growth.

​

Now, I’d love the opportunity to help you identify and remove the blockers that are preventing you from showing up as your most powerful self.

​

Let’s talk. 👉 


My goal is to be part of the conversations that lead to your aha moments—the kind that shift your energy, your mindset, and ultimately, your life.

​

Say Yes to You.
