My foundation began at Goldman Sachs in New York City, where I built my career in the heart of finance. From there I moved into technology at companies like Yahoo! — where wearing jeans every day was a huge plus.

That move was a turning point. In tech, I could do HR in a way that felt authentic — real and accessible, unbound by the formalities of traditional industries. Being a genuinely approachable HR executive became my brand across a 25-year corporate career that continues today at Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Twice in my career I went out on my own as a coach and consultant. I learned I'm entrepreneurial — but I returned to corporate life because I missed the complexity, the dynamics, the constant problem-solving. The truth is, I coach every day in my corporate role; it's the throughline of everything I do.

As a coach, I'm down to earth, direct, and deeply fluent in corporate life. I've been a certified executive coach since 2009, and I do coaching differently — just as I've always done HR differently. I understand the challenges of leadership because I've navigated them firsthand, politics included.

And there's a flip side to that corporate coin: stillness. Years of contemplative practice have taught me that our best answers rarely come from pushing harder — they come when we pause, create space, and actually listen to ourselves.

That balance is what sets my approach apart. I'm tactical and practical — whether you're navigating a job search, a difficult team, or your own growth as a leader. But I also know how to help you access your own clarity: how to slow down enough to find the answers you've been seeking all along.

If you're willing to sit with the unknown — the place where the next version of your career and life takes shape — that's where we'll do our best work together.
