Experience
I started my professional career by working as a researcher and project manager in a variety of environments: news, technology, environmental protection, education, and healthcare. I also worked and taught in the field of photography for 11 years.
My purpose has always been to support learning and growth.
In 2016-2017, I worked as a Product Owner building tools for hundreds of coaches at an education non-profit. Working with coaches every day was a revelation. Professional coaches had a quality of Presence…a way of being that brought a sense of groundedness, ease, and purpose into a complex world. I’d found my calling.
I’ve been coaching since 2018 and continue to learn every day. Curiosity, openness, and a commitment to inner work are inextricably intertwined with how we're able to actualize our genius.
My contemplative practice is rooted in Buddhism, nondual inquiry, and the Realization Process. Having an interest in meditation, yoga, tai chi, qigong, or other mind-body practices can help clients to find a sense of ease with my style of coaching.
Everyone is welcome. Meditation can be integrated into our sessions.
