Your Partner in Leadership Transformation

My superpower is connecting deeply with people and helping them connect to their own power.

I bring over 25 years of experience in leadership development, a Master's in Organizational Psychology from Columbia University, and certification as an Executive Coach through Georgetown University. I'm also a proud board member of the NYC Chapter of the International Coaching Federation and an Adjunct Professor at Rutgers Business School, where I teach the next generation of business leaders.

I’m also DISC-certified, which means I can provide personalized assessments that reveal communication patterns and leadership strengths. It’s one of the tools I use to accelerate self-awareness and growth for my clients.

But more than titles or degrees, what matters most is how I show up for my clients: with empathy, insight, and a deep belief in their potential.

I know what it’s like to feel overlooked, undervalued, and unsure of your next move. I’ve lived it - and now I help others rise through it. Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role, navigating career transitions, or simply ready to reclaim your voice, I’m here to walk that journey with you.
