After 30 years in nonprofit and education leadership, I reached a point where my work and life no longer felt aligned. I was still deeply committed to the mission — but beneath the surface, I felt drained and disconnected.

When I finally paused long enough to listen to what those emotions were trying to tell me, I realized my values and desires had evolved. That awareness became the spark for realigning my energy, reimagining leadership, and rediscovering the clarity I thought I’d lost.

Through years of growing organizations, leading teams, and navigating professional and personal change, I learned that clarity rarely arrives as an answer — it begins as a quiet question. That question led me to Energy Leadership™ coaching, where I reframed how I think, feel, and lead. I became the agent of change in my own life and found balance, confidence, and joy in the process.

Now, as an iPEC-certified, ICF ACC coach, I help mission-driven nonprofit and education leaders reconnect with what matters most, so they can lead themselves and others with authenticity, calm, and courage.

Leadership begins with giving yourself permission to lead yourself first, to create from clarity, courage, and heart—so you lead others authentically.
