As a marine biological contractor I collect marine baseline/inventory data for biophysical characterizations, environmental assessments and compensation offsetting project requirements to find the balance between coastal development and marine species and habitat protection needs.As a Power Coach I provide individual, group and executive coaching to help people and teams ignite and turn their goals and challenges into creative action.My specialty is providing support to women who desire change in their professional or personal life that they feel "stuck" in and unfulfilled from long periods of stress, work overload, exhaustion, depletion, and imbalance in their life. From stepping into readiness for change to bringing forth new ideas and setting them into creative action, you design your life in your own unique and authentic way and step into a larger, fulfilling role as an empowered, transformational leader who creates positive change in your home, workplace and community while experiencing greater personal wellbeing and success that is meaningful to you.I also offer a unique fusion of coaching and stand up paddleboarding where additional clarity, solutions and ideas for creative action are unleashed while enjoying movement in nature after a coaching session.
