Executive & Team Coach, Facilitator, Coaching Supervisor, and Consultant
I help exhausted and high-achieving women leaders and leaders of color to overcome disempowering beliefs so they can show up powerfully in work and life.
I was raised by a single mother of six in New York’s Lower East Side, and have studied culture and human nature for as long as I can remember. Driven by the difficult experiences of my immigrant mother and my own first generation, low income upbringing, I found her calling in developing others to reclaim and magnify their power and potential. The grit of women, mothers, and workers of all colors fuels me. Underdogs are my inspiration.
Grounded in Experience and Science.
