I am a relator, a coach, and a fierce advocate for helping others achieve their life goals. My focus on relationships has positively impacted every role in my career - as a 7th grade English teacher, as an assistant principal and principal, as executive director of a statewide virtual school, as a corporate leader at Pearson, and now as a career and life coach. My values are: Personal Development, Helping Others, Competence, Order, and Humor! You can expect commitment and tenacity from me. A blend of down to earth practicality and lightheartedness, coupled with a relentless drive to help you achieve your goals.As I partner with clients, my approach is grounded in my commitment to a lifelong learning journey. Completing my doctorate at Peabody College, Vanderbilt University has allowed me to galvanize my strengths and beliefs, grounding my practice in research. Becoming a scholar practitioner pushes my learning as I continue to learn from professors, classmates, and other experts in their fields.
