My expertise spans higher education, marketing, banking, and asset management, where I have guided top executives at Fortune 100 and 500 firms through pivotal transitions. By offering practical, strategic insights, I’ve consistently driven measurable success.

I specialize in designing impactful learning solutions, creating retention strategies, and providing career coaching that empowers professionals to unlock their full potential. Recognized for championing diversity initiatives and fostering strategic partnerships across industries, I remain committed to staying ahead of trends to deliver forward-thinking guidance tailored to my clients' unique needs.

As an Executive Career and Leadership Coach (CEC/CLC), I bring a rich educational background and industry-leading credentials to my work. I hold a master’s degree in educational counseling, a bachelor’s degree in psychology, and Senior Professional designations in Human Resources (SPHR/SHRM-SCP). Additionally, I am an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) with the International Coaching Federation and certified in Neuro-Linguistic Programming (CNLP), equipping me to elevate communication, leadership behaviors, and organizational success.

Let’s work together to uncover new opportunities, elevate your team, and drive meaningful growth for your organization!
