Every day is filled with choices. Some are really easy. Some are made for us, whether we like it or not. And some are better faced with a little help. There are no magic answers and having someone on your side doesn’t always mean you’ll hear exactly what you want to hear. Sometimes it means dealing directly with the hard stuff. And when you are faced with hard choices, you may need support along with meaningful feedback. As your coach, advisor, and advocate, I will provide both.

Key transition points are inevitable for us all and naturally create intense emotions that we have to work through in a safe non-judgmental space. Life, health, growth, and change look very different with a coach at your side.

What I bring to clients…

First, as a seasoned marketing and advertising executive with extensive experience in new business and as an award-winning broadcast writer and producer, I had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of clients, from start-ups to well-established corporations to non-profits. Exposure to different types of businesses and the personalities, products, and services offered by each enables me to provide you with practical and effective communication skills to enhance your career and leadership impact.

For the past several years, I worked in various roles as a Health Communication Specialist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). My commitment to effective communication will help you move quickly through to the clarity that will help you reach your goals faster.

In a significant mid-life career transition, I added another dimension, becoming a Registered Nurse with a BS in Nursing, a master’s in Adult Health Nursing, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice. Specializing in emergency nursing, I have not only practiced as an ER nurse, but I also served as adjunct faculty for two major schools of nursing, and taught emergency nursing both domestically and internationally. I have witnessed the actual challenges of life and death from the perspective of a healthcare provider, as a family member and caregiver, and even as a patient. I can help patients and families understand their options and make hard decisions about their health and healthcare.

A few years ago, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I know what it’s like firsthand to navigate the complexities of work, life, and family in the midst of major health challenges. My personal experience provides me with real world insight into how to examine and tackle health and life choices, and make commitments to your well-being moving forward. Beyond coaching, I can also serve as an advisor to help you formulate the right questions to facilitate a better relationship with your healthcare providers and an increased understanding of your options for best decision-making.

Sometimes you need more than a friend—you need a coach. Someone who can objectively assess the situation, set realistic goals, and give constructive feedback along the way.
