WHY I COACH
—

At the core, I coach because I believe we all have value worth discovering, and often it’s hard to do that on our own. I’ve seen great teams fail, and unexpected teams thrive because of their leader’s willingness (or lack thereof) to invest in areas such as relationship building. My hope is to help both individuals and teams access greater understanding of themselves and those they interact with on a daily basis, creating potential for growth and fulfillment.

WHERE I STUDIED
—

It started with a Bachelor of Science in Education at the University of Illinois. Decades of facilitation among a range of life experiences led me to attend the Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (iPEC) to become a certified professional Coach. Since 2013, I’ve held accreditation with the International Coach Federation (currently a Professional Certified Coach – PCC).

 WHERE I CAME FROM
—

This one is easy, I grew up in the Chicago area. Love the deep dish, hate the winters. I’m currently in Columbus, OH where we’re safe from the lake effect and finally got a Giordanos to satisfy those pizza cravings.
