A little about me
A little about me
My career spans entrepreneurship, startups, education, and leadership development. Across these experiences, I’ve found a common thread: helping people bring ideas to life and move meaningful work forward.
I think of myself as an “operations choreographer.” My background in dance shapes how I work: seeing the whole picture, bringing structure to moving parts, and helping people contribute their strengths.

Executive Coaching
Your partner for building and leading.
Building a business can leave little room to step back. I work with founders and startup leaders who want a thoughtful sounding board, clearer priorities, and practical next steps.
Our conversations can focus on leadership and team challenges, delegation, operational growing pains, systems for scale, or important decisions about the business and its future.
