A Little About Me 

Before coaching, I built a career in creative media production, managing complex creative projects across cities and time zones for clients such as Spotify, Marvel, and Audible. Additionally, I’ve held positions as a writing and math tutor, peer counselor, and writing TA for college courses and the writing center. 

I received my BA from Oberlin College where I studied film and gender, sexuality, and feminist studies. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, yoga, interior design, studying Mandarin, and volunteering with Crisis Text Line.

My Coaching Style 

As a neurodivergent learner myself, I strive to tailor my coaching to individual client needs and preferences. I lead with empathy and curiosity as I meet with clients, so I can offer tools and techniques that align with their existing strengths and patterns. 

I love to work with clients to build sustainable routines and systems to navigate their lives and meet goals while remaining flexible to the reality that life never goes according to plan. There is always room for experimentation, reflection, and iteration in the coaching process. I provide my clients with supportive accountability without judgment. 

Working Together 

Clients who enjoy working with me often appreciate that I: 

• Understand that change and changing behaviors is truly hard work

• Build systems tailored to how clients actually think and behave

• Create space for experimentation, without judgment 

• Bring a whole-person wellness approach that integrates coaching across multiple areas of life

• Have expertise supporting clients through challenging transitions (school, career, moving, etc.)

• Meet clients where they’re at with a genuine curiosity, empathy, and patience

• Balance addressing time-sensitive issues with long-term tool building and progress

Your value does not waiver—coaching is about accepting yourself as you are while also investing and believing in your capacity for growth.
