About
Driven by a deep curiosity about what helps people adapt, grow and thrive, I’ve spent years developing a coaching approach that builds on each person’s unique strengths. I support individuals as they navigate life’s transitions, deepen personal growth, and integrate meaningful transformation.
My coaching style is inspired by the lighthouse - steady, unwavering, and a beacon through turbulent times. I believe that we all have an inner compass, but at times, we need a trusted guide along the way.
Like a Fresnel lens in a lighthouse (reflected in my logo), my work helps you amplify your unique strengths, focusing and directing them as you navigate challenges with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Are you:
Navigating a meaningful transition - in your career, or personal life
Sensing something is shifting
Building something new (a role, a business, a next chapter)
Wanting to integrate deeper personal growth into how you live
You don’t need to have it all figured out—just a sense that something is changing, or ready to.
I bring over 20 years of experience in global leadership roles at companies like Airbnb, Tesla, and Box — designing people strategies and navigating complex moments of change. I've also navigated my own challenges, including childhood trauma, and later, the demands of caregiving while building a meaningful career. These experiences have deepened my understanding of life's complexity and inform the way I support others — with both compassion and clarity.
My work sits at the intersection of personal growth and real-world leadership.
I support people not just in gaining insight - but in integrating those insight.
I also help people navigate one of the defining questions of this moment: how to stay human in a world where AI is reshaping how we work and what we need to thrive.
Alongside my coaching practice, I am trained as a facilitator supporting individuals and groups through preparation and integration around transformational experiences. This work draws on contemplative practices, somatic awareness, and depth-oriented inquiry, and informs how I hold space for the deeper terrain that often accompanies meaningful change.
As a coach, I work 1:1 with individuals navigating significant life, purpose, or career shifts.
As a facilitator, I create inclusive spaces for groups, guiding experiences that build connection, resilience and meaningful growth.
As an advisor, I partner with founders, change-makers, and leaders to navigate complexity, refine strategy, and build thoughtful, high-performing organizations.
