I help leaders find their way through change, the kind that feels exciting and unsettling all at once.
20
years leading teams across business operations and transformation
15+
years in higher education
With 15+ years in higher education and 20 years leading teams across research, HR, operations, and change management, I've sat on both sides of the table: the one driving transformation and the one coaching people through it. I know what it takes to build trust, steady a team through uncertainty, and turn "we've always done it this way" into genuine momentum.
My HR background gave me a front-row seat to how organizations really work: the systems, the structures, and most importantly, the people navigating them. That's shaped how I coach today: I don't believe in one-size-fits-all leadership advice. I believe in asking the right questions, creating space to think clearly, and helping you uncover what's already in you.
As a coach, my job isn't to hand you answers. It's to walk alongside you, thoughtfully, sometimes playfully, always honestly, as you figure out what you actually want, what's getting in your way, and how to move forward with confidence.
WHO I WORK WITH
Executives and leaders at a turning point.
We'll define what's possible, and what it takes to get there.
WHAT WE CAN WORK THROUGH TOGETHER
01. Reframing barriers as possibilities
02. Redefining your executive narrative
03. Restoring purpose and energy to your work
04. Redefining your role around your strengths
05. Navigating a strategic career pivot
06. Stepping into senior leadership
07. Exiting at the top of your game
08. Succession, and the legacy you leave behind
