You need a path that matches who you are now.
Work as shifted. The market is impossible. Priorities have shifted. And you're realizing it's time for something to change.
Maybe you are:

Worried that AI is going to replace you
Feeling overlooked or under-recognized for the work you know you do well
Trying to advocate for yourself but not sure how to tell your story
Wanting compensation that matches your true value
Looking for growth that actually aligns with your strengths and your life
Here’s the truth: Another certification or degree is probably not the answer. You don’t need to “fix” yourself. You simply need clarity, direction, and support
This is where I come in.
I’m a leadership and career strategist who helps high-achieving professionals step into roles where they feel recognized, aligned, and energized again.
Together, we’ll:
Clarify what you truly want (outside of the “shoulds”)
Lean into your strengths instead of downplaying them
Build a focused plan for executing on what that moves you forward with intention
Think of me as your advocate in the room — helping you navigate big decisions without sacrificing your well-being or contorting yourself into roles that don’t fit.
My background:

15+ years coaching leaders across Tech, Finance, Healthcare, and Nonprofits
15+ years in leadership roles in Finance, Strategy and Business Planning at JP Morgan, HP, Esurance, and high-growth startups
MBA, University of Michigan
BS, The Wharton School
PCC-certified Executive Coach
Coached 100's of managers, directors, and executives through successful transitions and promotions
I work with individuals and teams in the SF Bay Area and around the world. Schedule a free coaching session to see how we can rewrite your story!

You just need a clearer path forward.
