About

Over the past two decades, I’ve worked across high-growth, creative environments building HR systems from the ground up, strengthening leadership pipelines, and designing people strategies that are practical, human, and aligned to business objectives. Most of what I do sits at the intersection of culture, performance, and leadership. I’m deeply passionate about talent development, about scaling people, not just systems. As a certified ICF coach, I support individuals and teams through moments of change and growth, helping them gain clarity, lead with intention, and stay aligned with both their potential and the direction of the business. I’m also a strong advocate for safe, reflective spaces at work. I run a growing community for women navigating the workplace and also serve as an advisor to the HR Learning Network, grounded in the belief that connection, conversation, and community play a powerful role in how people grow. If you’re looking to build a high-performance culture, set up progressive people systems, and create meaningful pathways for leadership. I’m open to conversations and collaborations in coaching, leadership development, and culture-building.
