As an Executive Career Coach and Senior Associate Director at MIT Sloan School of Management, I’m passionate about helping professionals—particularly executives and alumni—navigate career transitions with intention, clarity, and confidence. With over 20 years in higher education and career coaching, my approach is rooted in positive psychology, strengths-based development, and holistic career strategies.

My coaching is designed to empower individuals to: * Clarify their values and uncover their true potential * Approach transitions with a growth mindset * Develop tailored strategies for career success, from search strategy, interview preparation, to post-landing coaching * Activate their network and make authentic connections that support their goals As a CTI (PCC) Certified Coach and Gallup CliftonStrengths coach, I take a strengths-based approach that emphasizes self-awareness and empowerment.

I work with intellectually curious leaders who are open to new perspectives and inspired by the possibilities that career connections can create. Whether you're in transition or looking to elevate your career, I’m committed to helping you achieve clarity, alignment, and a fulfilling path forward.
