I am a first-generation college graduate with a BA in Social Ecology and an MS in Counseling. During my counseling studies, I received extensive training to work effectively with individuals from diverse backgrounds and intersecting identities, guided by a cultural humility approach.
As a seasoned leader and manager with over 15 years in higher education, I prioritize trust and psychological safety to foster personal and professional growth within my teams and stakeholders. I do this by supporting individuals to explore their passions and growth areas by providing guidance and coaching through challenges. Some of my most memorable moments are when team members share how our discussions led to breakthroughs and new outcomes.
My coaching philosophy centers on creating a supportive space rooted in thoughtful reflection and unconditional positive regard. I help clients navigate barriers, uncover insights, and achieve meaningful goals. Passionate about helping individuals understand how environments shape behavior, I look forward to collaborating with NOW conference attendees on their unique journeys.
