I love my work and want you to love yours too
In my two decades of leadership and management roles in Silicon Valley, I know the challenges professionals grapple with daily.
Mid-sized growth-spurt and thrown into management? Check.
Ambitious start-up going public? Yes—what a whirlwind.
Juggling career and a growing family? Yeah, that too.
When balancing my home and work life became unbearable, I knew something had to change. I was determined to learn how to be successful and productive as a leader while living my life with integrity and an open heart.
Through trial and error, I discovered practical ways to build a foundation from which I could love my work and achieve my goals without sacrificing my personal life.
A snapshot of my credentials
I help high-achieving leaders and managers:
Get clear on what you want
Make actionable plans to get unstuck and move forward
Tackle leadership and management challenges
Build deeper connection and engagement with your teams
Believe in yourself and realize your goals
A bit about me
I’m a native of the San Francisco Bay Area.
My wonderful husband and I call Sonoma County home and enjoy visits from our five grown kids and spending time together as a blended family.
My guilty pleasures are Fritos and wine — the paring is actually pretty good.
My claim to fame outside of work is that I’m nerdy about cults, belief systems, and wacky religions.
My favorite quote is: “Love what you do and do what you love.” —Ray Bradbury
