I became a coach because I am passionate about promoting positive change and happiness in others. Coaching has helped me countless times in my own life and career to make key decisions, build confidence, develop my authentic leadership style, and achieve ambitious goals. I've been a mentor for several years through various programs at work and in my community, as well as a facilitator and Vinyasa yoga teacher. I love meeting and finding connections with people from all walks of life. I would be honored to join your journey of growth, awareness, and discovery. [Learn more about why I became a coach)
