In 2022, I quit my job as an executive to follow my passion and purpose as an Executive Coach. I had been coaching part-time on the side since 2009, and throughout my years of personal and professional change, it has been a constant source of deep fulfillment and purpose.

​

I had previously been an academic biomedical research CEO. In my CEO tenure, I led an institutional turnaround that was all about transforming our culture as the backbone for improved processes, high performing teams, and organizational excellence. The turnaround was fueled by a coaching approach to leadership; engaging my team, our external partners, and myself in collective transformational change.

​

Complimenting this work was my applied organizational "action learning" while completing my Executive MBA at MIT Sloan School of Management. Through coursework and executive coaching offered by the program, I continued to deepen my coaching perspective and application.

​

After completing the turnaround in 2021 and co-building an incredibly gratifying high-functioning organization that people wanted to be a part of, I turned my organization over to my successor and took a leadership job in a new industry in Portland, Maine.

​

In 2022, finding the new job to just not be the right fit, I began contemplating a shift. In considering what brings me the most professional fulfillment and joy, expanding my executive coaching to full time was the obvious answer. I quit my job, filed for my LLC, and publicly launched  a few months later.

​

To continue expanding and deepening my executive coaching practice, I then completed Georgetown's Leadership Coaching certificate program, where I deepened my passion for adult development theory, Immunity to Change, navigating polarities, culture and identity, anti-racism, and turning around systemic oppression and power dynamics.

​

I am active in several continuing professional development activities in ICF coaching, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)/Coaching (ACC), and Motivational Interviewing. I participate in several peer consultation and study groups each month, as well as coach development and supervision.

I look forward to seeing you soon!
