MY STORY

Thriving Through Change & Uncertainty

Over 20 years ago, I began my career leading high-performing teams at creative agencies in the healthcare marketing industry. It was a successful and fulfilling path. And then, I was diagnosed with a progressive, incurable lung disease. That diagnosis turned my world upside down and forced me to confront uncertainty in ways I never imagined. Navigating the emotional and practical challenges of this condition was the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but it also sparked a profound shift in my perspective.

During this period, I discovered a deep passion for travel. My husband and I took a leap of faith, leaving behind the familiar to explore the world and eventually relocate to Europe to pursue entrepreneurship. It was there that I found coaching, which helped me navigate some tough decisions and transitions. Inspired by my own transformative experience, I undertook a rigorous training to become a Certified Professional Coach and earned my ACC credential from the ICF.

Now back in the US, I’m pursuing what I love, while embracing the new perspective I gained along the way. And also having fun with our rescue pup!

Whether you’re navigating a career shift, embracing change, or seeking to reach your next goal, I help clients unlock strategic insights and embrace innovative solutions that lead to meaningful growth.
