I’m a certified personal coach, accomplished event strategist, educator, and speaker. With a passion for crafting unforgettable experiences that foster transformative connections, I excel in innovative problem-solving, encouraging exploration of the "why" and "what if" in every scenario. My unique superpowers include expertly connecting dots and offering fresh perspectives that uncover angles often overlooked by others. I’m known for asking insightful and thought-provoking questions that inspire growth and learning.
Currently, I hold the role of Head of Education and Content at the Society for Incentive Travel Excellence (SITE). I also serve as adjunct faculty at SDSU, where I teach Data-Driven Decision Making in the Meeting and Event Management Masters program. Beyond my professional pursuits, I extend my expertise to coaching, empowering event professionals to navigate the complexities of their careers with purpose. I also provide support to those balancing parenthood and a successful career. To my family and friends, I am a fitness enthusiast, an avid reader and podcast listener, and a dedicated advocate for deep, meaningful conversations. Above all, I am actively working to be a positive and authentic role model for my two tween daughters.
I would make a great career coach for you if you’re…
…looking for personal and professional guidance from someone with decades of business events expertise and dedicated industry involvement.

I work with successful professionals who are looking for more in their personal or professional journey.
My clients work in a variety of industries, countries, and levels of leadership, but they have some common characteristics. They have been very successful and recognized for their achievements. They often have a strong desire to please others and add value. They hold themselves to extremely high standards and can get frustrated when others don’t share the same strengths. They are often facing a work challenge that is clashing with their personal beliefs, tendencies, and default settings.
As a coach, I help my clients clarify the puzzle they want to solve and discover the pieces to the puzzle they already have. It’s hard to see all of the pieces and the ways they can fit together when they’re all still in the box. I help create the space to open the box, examine the pieces, and use the ones that best fit their specific puzzle.
As a leader, there is plenty of pressure to "have it all together.” Coaching is not one of those places. Our conversations are a space where you can exhale and be yourself. You can explore, think out loud, and meander as you talk.
I’m the perfect coaching match for you if you’re…
…looking for someone with vast executive leadership experience to help illuminate your path to fulfilling your purpose and potential.
