With over 14 years of experience in the corporate world, including 11 years navigating the the fast-paced, highly competitive city of New York, I have cultivated a profound understanding of leadership and organizational dynamics.
Throughout my career, I consistently gravitated toward leadership positions, showcasing a natural inclination to take charge and make a difference, even in the absence of a formal title. Mentoring and advising others has been an inherent part of my journey, beginning in my college years.
My firsthand experience working under ineffective, undeveloped, dysfunctional, and toxic leaders ignited a passion within me to create positive change. It led me to seek my own coach over five years ago, which proved to be a transformative turning point. I discovered the power of coaching in unlocking personal and professional growth, and it became my ultimate goal to help individuals and organizations thrive.
With my extensive experience as an ICF credentialed Certified Executive Coach and backed by certifications in Hogan and the American Management Association-Certified Professional in Management®, I bring a unique blend of education, expertise, and business acumen to my coaching practice.
When you choose me as your Executive Coach, you can expect a unique, thoughtful, and deliberate approach. I pride myself on recognizing what isn’t being said and creating a safe space for exploration and growth.
Together, let’s embark on a transformative journey to develop your organization’s leaders in order to improve the bottom line and create a thriving environment.
