A Little Bit More About Me…
Throughout my corporate career, I identified a growing disconnect between personal ambitions and organizational goals, often leading to low motivation, poor performance, unhealthy work cultures and a drastic increase in absenteeism! Driven by this insight, I pursued a Post-MBA Certification in Leadership Coaching in 2010, which has fueled my mission to help others align their goals, leverage their strengths, and create lasting success, all while prioritizing overall wellbeing.
I work with clients across the globe, virtually and in-person, helping individuals and organizations develop leadership potential and thrive. My coaching approach empowers individuals and teams to reflect on their experiences, envision a successful future, and achieve balance in both personal and professional life.
As a qualified optometrist and a passionate advocate for a healthy lifestyle, I believe in the power of physical vitality to fuel success. Having worked in corporate all my career but also being a devoted mother and wife, I understand the pressures of life - juggling deadlines, responsibilities, and the constant hustle. That is why I am committed to helping others find balance, combining strength, nutrition, and mindfulness to thrive both in and out of the office.
I am passionate about the environment and giving back to my community by serving as group leader for a volunteer litter pickup group in affiliation with Keep America Beautiful. I am also deeply committed to youth development in my community, creating and facilitating leadership development programs at local high schools.
