About me
About myself & my experience
I have a Ph.D. in Biochemistry and 20+ years of professional experience leading award-winning, high-performance research programs known for their innovation and productivity. My leadership experience as a biomedical research scientist brings a unique perspective to my coaching clients. I help clients see their emotions as data to help them better understand themselves and others through a non-judgmental lens. The scientist in me is deeply curious, creative, and all about problem-solving. As a coach, I combine these skills with active listening, empathy, and humor resulting in the ability to build rapport quickly with clients of diverse backgrounds.My photos
My coaching method & approach
My role as a coach is that of an ally to work with individuals to find solutions to challenges as they arise and work towards meaningful goals. I bring structure to my client's thinking and aid them to find solutions and commit to the actions that will move their goals forward. I utilize evidence-based approaches in my coaching that bring the latest scientific thinking about leadership and human development to help my clients achieve ambitious goals. I am certified and practice the ICF coaching competencies.I'm known for my humor, empathy, and non-judgmental approach. I really care about each client and seek to understand their perspective so they feel heard and understood. I value using humor to shift perspective during a coaching session. This approach helps me build a strong rapport with my clients allowing them to be open about their challenges, which in turn enables meaningful behavioral change to reach their full potential.
