The passion for my work comes from my more than 20 years working in corporate, non-profit, tech and the public sector. If you're experiencing it today, I've been there! In my quest for a happy life, I've pivoted careers, returned to school, changed jobs, quit my job and started my own business, all to finally discover my WHY, apply my talents, and am now living the happy and fulfilling life of my dreams. Growing, expanding, and learning define who I am. Only by learning about and gambling on yourself, can you really live your best life.
I believe when you discover the work your strengths lend themselves to and the right place to do that work, you and your life will be happier. After all, your work life and your personal life merge and impact one another. I use my own experience, education and training to help you find the successful and happy life you deserve! Part coach, part consultant, part cheerleader - I'm in your court all the way!
As a career coach, I've worked with hundreds of individuals, coaching them through the many phases of their careers. The career lifecycle begins with your first job and ends with retirement. I work with experienced professionals through mid-career changes and ultimately preparing for retirement and what that looks like for each individual. I've partnered with major outplacement firms Lee Hecht Harrison, Waldron and CareerCurve. During the 2014 Microsoft layoffs, I had the honor of working with impacted Microsoft employees, guiding them to successful landings at new jobs or moving into retirement or self-employment, winning the Discovery Excellence Award, as voted on by the Microsoft employees.
