I’ve built my career developing people and helping organizations tell their stories. I bring two decades of experience leading people and communications programs, originally working in youth development and education nonprofits, and then in the technology sector — for over 6 years at Google and at an edtech startup. 

As a coach, consultant and trainer, I’ve supported individuals, organizations and business schools in areas such as: career development, communications, team building and manager training. I’m energized by creating workplaces where people thrive and helping people build meaningful careers. There's a special place in my heart for serving parents and other professionals juggling work and caretaking responsibilities. 

I have a BA in Cultural Anthropology and an MA in Education, both from Stanford University. I completed my coaching training at The Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), earned a SHRM-CP and am DISC-certified.

After years of living in a handful of cities across the U.S. and a year in Southeast Asia, I’m happy to be back in my hometown of Portland, Oregon, where I live with my (one) husband, two  teenagers, and three cats. In my spare time, you can find me at the gym, on a hike, or curled up with a book — and likely pinned under a pile of cats.
