I was born and raised in the US, and moved to the UK in 2001 with my job at a financial services technology provider.  

I’ve always been a “people person” so when I discovered coaching in January 2012, I was so excited about a role that allows me to use my skills of listening and holding space for people to talk honestly and openly, understanding more about what makes people tick, advocating and championing people, and challenging individuals and teams to be the best they can be.

Training and qualifications

In August 2014, I completed the Core Curriculum of over 100 hours of training with the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), a global provider of coaching training and recognised by the International Coach Federation (ICF), the professional body for coaches. In June 2016, I gained my professional certification through CTI as a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), and accreditation by the ICF as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC).

I have also trained in Organisation and Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC), which leverages systems thinking and relationship systems intelligence.  Groups, teams, couples, and partnerships can all benefit from systems coaching.

I am a member of the ICF adhere to the ICF ethics of coaching.  

My purpose

I am a wife, a daughter, and the mother of two school-aged boys, so I know what a complex juggling act it can be to be a working parent or caregiver. I am passionate about creating work environments that honour the need for us to mesh our work and lives together – whether that be through flexible working arrangements, ensuring that people are the right matches for their jobs, or career progression and planning that recognises that our needs and wants at work change as our life circumstances change.  I also know that leaders set the tone for their organisations’ success and can create positive ripple effects in their teams, businesses, and organisations.  Above all, I hope to help people at all levels to work and live with meaning, impact, and purpose.

I love a good dance floor, am very happy in the outdoors, and generally have about 3 books on the go - reading, learning, and self-development are my happy places!
