My Story

Love what you do; it is more than just a J.O.B…

Since the third grade I wanted to pursue a career in law enforcement and after hours of watching crime-solving TV shows, meeting with law enforcement and forensic experts, observing hours of trials at the local courthouse while completing my education, I was excited to start my career in the crime laboratory. I loved all aspects of my work and could not wait to get up and meet the day’s challenges. I believe that when you follow your dreams, your career is not about the J-O-B; it is about creating a lifestyle filled with curiosity, personal growth, and fulfillment. Along my career journey, I met people who were not living their dream and were searching for something more satisfying. I began working with people through one-on-one meetings to identify and achieve their goals and discovered how coaching can make a difference in the lives of others.

Today, I am a career coach, keynote speaker, and trainer. I offer customized solutions that accelerate personal and professional growth so people can confidently communicate what they want and live differently. I work with people to identify careers that match their strengths. I thrive on getting people in the right seats so that everybody wins.
