Why I Do What I Do

I’m a passionate coach, consultant, and trainer dedicated to empowering individuals, employees, and leaders to unlock their full potential and thrive in both their personal and professional lives.

As someone who’s lived in 8 places (including U.S and abroad), I never loved discomfort or change. Learning how to embrace discomfort and accept transitions has been the key to unlock my growth.

Ironically enough, when it comes to feelings and relationships, my automatic response was to run from discomfort - avoid the conversation, suppress my needs, stick to my lone wolf tendencies, stay on the safe path, and run away from risk. My journey hasn't been one of innate expertise in communication or discomfort; like many, I've had to learn the art of authenticity, speaking my truth, and embracing discomfort along the way, leaning into uncomfortable feelings. I have spent a lot of time in self-discovery, reflecting on mistakes, and learning to navigate the complexities of communication. It has not been easy, but it’s led me here. What I learned is that, communication is everything. We are always communicating, whether effectively or not. Without allowing fear to run the show, I stay true to myself, speak my truth, and encourage others to do so as well. Through personal experiences and professional training, I've cultivated a deep understanding of the power of authentic communication in fostering meaningful connections and driving positive change. This work is not done overnight, but takes a lot of focused attention to drive change you want to see in your life!

Together, we'll uncover your strengths, overcome obstacles, and create meaningful change that propels you toward your goals. I'm here to support you in identifying your goals, overcoming obstacles, and unleashing your full potential, whether you're seeking to enhance your leadership skills, support your team, improve your relationships, or navigate life's transitions with confidence.
