About
Communication is leverage.
Professionals who tell clearer stories, ask sharper questions, and present with confidence lead better, influence more, and build careers with staying power.
I’m a career coach, educator, and communication strategist with over 15 years of experience, from MBA students navigating their first pivot to executives refining how they show up in high-stakes moments. As a Gallup-Certified Strengths Coach, I help people build from what’s already working.
My work sits at the intersection of career strategy, communication, and AI. I host Conversations on Careers and Professional Life (95+ episodes, 20,000+ downloads), where I explore what it takes to build a meaningful career in a fast-changing world. I speak at national conferences, contribute to AI use policy in higher education, and coach coaches on integrating new tools without losing the human center of the work.
Based in Seattle. Working with clients nationally.
