I’m a coach, longtime working woman, and someone who’s personally walked the messy, uncertain path of career change. I know what it’s like to feel like you’ve outgrown your job but can’t quite name what’s next, to chase stability at the expense of self-trust, and to wonder if wanting more means you’re being ungrateful. (Nope, you’re not.)
Before I built this business, I spent 20 years in corporate roles, using my science background to solve big problems for big companies. I became an expert at managing change with the least amount of risk, which taught me how important it is to move thoughtfully, not recklessly, especially when your work and wellbeing are on the line. I hit the career goals I’d set for myself, but somewhere along the way, the work stopped lighting me up.
As I investigated the feelings, I realized my values had shifted, my priorities had changed, and the path I’d been following no longer fit. I wasn’t lost, I was evolving.
Along the way, I found a mix of tools and insights that helped me better understand myself. I learned that I’m wired to notice what’s already working and figure out how to make it even better. I get excited about new possibilities, but I like to explore them in ways that feel safe and sustainable. And humor and enjoyment are core values for me; they keep me grounded, energized, and (relatively) sane in the too-often insane world we are living in.
Combine these things with my background in science and risk, and you get what I like to think of as a modern mad scientist. I’m curious about the why, skilled at spotting patterns, and always thinking ahead to what could go wrong so I can plan for it. I love to experiment, take smart risks, and find a way to enjoy weathering the ups and downs. That’s the energy I bring to coaching and guiding others through career and life changes.
Now, I help others do what I had to learn to do: press pause, reconnect with what matters, and move forward in a way that’s actually aligned. As an expert on change, I know that real change needs more than a pros and cons list to make it safe and successful. It needs someone who gets it and who’s not afraid to to tackle the risks and fears that hold us back.
Everything is “figure-out-able” when you have the right people in the room. Sometimes all it takes is someone who knows how to ask the right questions, offer fresh perspective, and help you make sense of the mess.
If you’re looking for someone who will help you experiment, recalibrate, and build a career that actually fits your values and your life – that’s me.
I don’t sell shiny gimmicks or one-size-fits-all templates that promise to fix everything overnight. If it were that simple, you’d already be doing it (and 100 people on Instagram would be selling it). Your career deserves more than cookie-cutter advice and “just be grateful” pep talks.
Instead, I see career coaching as a laboratory for exploration – your lab – and I’m your guide. We’ll experiment, explore possibilities, and recalibrate along the way to create a plan that’s thoughtful, low-risk, and completely tailored to you: your values, your energy, and the future you actually want.
First, we hit pause and get your energy and sanity back. Breathe, reset, and get grounded, so we can actually move from panic to possibility.
Next, we figure out what actually lights you up and what you’re done tolerating, without rushing you into a dramatic decision.
Finally, we map out smart, low-risk moves that you can take with confidence, adding up to big changes that actually stick.

I work with women, people from historically marginalized and LGBTQ+ communities, neurodiverse humans, and self-aware men. In short: people who don’t suck, but might feel trapped in systems and workplaces that absolutely do. They’ve outgrown hustle culture, never really fit the corporate mold, and aren’t here to win the personal brand Olympics or burn themselves out chasing someone else’s version of success. They want to be deeply committed to meaningful, values-led work and ready to craft work that honors who they are, what matters most, and the life they actually want to live.
My job is to help you get back in touch with the wisest parts of yourself and safely experiment your way into your next chapter, with a whole lot more clarity and a whole lot less overwhelm.
If that sounds like your kind of conversation, you’re in the right place.
