My Background

I earned my undergraduate degree in Marketing from Penn State and later completed a Master’s in Organizational Leadership & Ethics from St. Edward’s University in Austin.

​

Over the past 20+ years, I’ve held leadership roles spanning operations, employee experience, and learning & development. I’ve coached senior leaders, facilitated executive sessions, built leadership frameworks, and supported organizational transformation efforts in high-growth environments.

​

Leadership has never been theoretical for me - it’s been practiced, tested, and refined inside real businesses with real pressure.

 

Why Coaching

Throughout my career, I’ve observed a consistent pattern:

High-performing leaders often achieve impressive results, while quietly carrying the weight of expectation, complexity, and sustained pressure.

​

Over time, that pressure can erode clarity, decision-making confidence, and strategic focus. It impacts not only the leader, but the teams and organizations they influence.

​

I’ve experienced that tension myself.

​

Coaching became a natural extension of my work because I believe leadership development should strengthen both the individual and the organization. When leaders build self-trust, clarity, and presence, performance becomes more consistent, communication improves, and accountability strengthens.

 

That belief led me to create the Confident Leader Framework, a practical and results-oriented approach that helps leaders:

• Strengthen self-trust and decision-making clarity

• Increase influence without overextension

• Improve accountability and strategic focus

• Sustain performance over time

 

This work is not abstract or purely reflective. It translates into stronger execution, healthier team dynamics, and leadership capacity that supports long-term organizational success.

​

As a coach, I combine business realism with deep curiosity. I ask the questions that matter. I challenge patterns that limit growth. And I partner with leaders who are ready to elevate their impact in a way that is both ambitious and sustainable.

 

A Bit More Personally

I live in Austin with my husband, our two sons, and our two dogs. My roots are in Pittsburgh, and service has shaped much of my journey, including a year in AmeriCorps that proufoundly deepened my commitment to leadership and community impact.

​

Leadership, for me, has always been about helping people and organizations do meaningful work - and do it well.
