I listen, listen, listen for the stated and unstated. I create the space for others to come to their own realizations about what's important, what they want to shift, and why. Through powerful questions and open, honest conversations, I help individuals create their own actions and partner with them on accountability.

I love to work with leaders on balancing the many facets of their role as leaders while showing up as their authentic self. How to prioritize their personal goals alongside their business goals. How to accomplish longer term outcomes while experimenting with creative ways to move forward, and how to have difficult conversations.

My 25+ years in healthcare and 19 years with Genentech allowed me to develop a deep understanding of business through leadership and individual contributor roles in Analytics, Reimbursement, Planning & Operations, Managed Care, Contracting, Distribution Strategy, Field Account Strategy, and Customer Engagement. As I shifted focus from our Commercial organization, where I grew up in the business, to our Research and Early Development Group, I learned that coaching scientists wasn't much different than the commercial leaders and teams I'd worked with for years. They are all human, and I am a human-centered coach.

I was born and raised in California, spending the majority of my life on the west coast before moving to Charlottesville, Virginia, where I currently reside with my daughter, Morgan. We enjoy fangirling over Taylor Swift, listening and dancing to her music often. Taking Morgan to an Eras Tour Concert was the most fun we've ever had together. I enjoy San Francisco Giants baseball, listening to live music, traveling, hiking and getting outdoors, especially doing anything in or on the water. My down time is spent, reading, listening to podcasts, and taking in my guilty pleasure of reality tv. I tend to document events and hold on to memories through my love of photography, with some of my favorite photos shared through these pages. I look forward to working with you!

“I felt present, honest, and vulnerable. You created a space where I completely trust you. You helped me pause, and you pushed on some things, asked questions to understand, and that helped me understand. I felt human with you.”
