About me
My journey to coaching has been a circuitous one, informed by my personal experiences as much as my professional ones. Crowned as gifted in my childhood, I recently recognized that I have ADHD. With the diagnosis has come incredible clarity, including acceptance of my challenges and celebration of my unique strengths: comfort in my own skin.
Having experienced the transformative power of effective coaching, I am committed to creating nonjudgmental space for clients to explore, grow, and create their own paths through and forward.
Career + Education
I am an International Coaching Federation certified coach (ACC) and a former strategy advisor in the nonprofit and philanthropy sector, online political organizer, and academic. I hold an M.A. in sociology from Harvard University and a B.A. in psychology and sociology from Indiana University. Through the peak of the pandemic, I dedicated three years to bolstering the community morale at a global software consultancy, as well as promoting inclusive and effective team practices in hybrid, remote, and distributed contexts.
My coaching is informed by my conscious dance and meditation practices. I count Jack Kornfield, Tara Brach, Thich Nhat Hanh, and Parker Palmer, among the teachers from whom I draw insight and inspiration.
I am a member of ICF, the International Coaching Federation; ADDA, Attention Deficit Disorder Association; CHADD; and ACO, the ADHD coaches organization.
I use she and her as my pronouns.
