About
With over two decades of experience spanning global finance, startups, fintech, tech, and higher education, I bring a unique perspective to career growth. My background includes an MBA from Northeastern and certification as a CTI executive coach, allowing me to blend business acumen with a people-centered approach to support clients in fast-paced, dynamic environments. As a career coach, I’ve guided professionals at every stage, from graduate students launching their first roles to senior leaders refining their leadership presence. I help clients navigate job searches, career pivots, and professional development by offering strategic guidance on résumés, LinkedIn profiles, networking, and interview preparation. My goal is to empower individuals to translate their skills with clarity and confidence across industries and roles. Clients describe my coaching style as strategically sharp and deeply empathetic. I focus not only on tangible outcomes like landing a job or acing an interview, but also on long-term growth—building resilience, self-awareness, and leadership capabilities that endure. My coaching philosophy is rooted in the belief that every professional has untapped potential. Whether you're navigating a transition, reimagining your path, or stepping into a new leadership role, I offer a results-driven, personalized partnership grounded in real-world insight, proven frameworks, and practical tools. Together, we’ll celebrate wins, overcome obstacles, and move your career forward with intention and impact. As a former investment professional turned executive coach, I understand the complexities of reinvention and high-stakes decision-making. I use that experience to help others unlock meaningful, lasting progress in their careers.

Why do I coach?
I coach because I believe growth happens when people gain clarity, confidence, and courage. Throughout my career, from global finance to startups to higher education, I’ve seen that even the most capable professionals can feel stuck by self-doubt, uncertainty, or lack of direction. Coaching allows me to help people break through those barriers, discover their strengths, and move forward with purpose. I am driven by a passion for unlocking potential and creating pathways for others. Whether I’m working with a Master's student navigating the U.S. job market, or a senior leader managing complex team dynamics, I coach to empower people to see possibilities they hadn’t imagined, and to build the skills, resilience, and presence needed to thrive in today’s fast-changing world. At its core, my coaching is about transformation, helping individuals and teams align who they are with how they lead, collaborate, and grow. I coach because I know the ripple effect: when one person steps into their fullest potential, it uplifts organizations, communities, and beyond.
