I grew up as a military brat who loved traveling, and had visited 47 states by the time I turned 18. My passion for leading started at a young age, as I’d lead family meetings to keep us organized during the moves and trips (sorry for putting you through that, sis…). That passion grew as I had the chance to lead my first teams throughout middle/high school and later, when I “coached” a fellow leader for the first time in college, I knew I had found something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. As I started my first formal leadership studies, I realized I was fascinated by the psychology behind leading effectively, learning how to adapt to meet your team members where they are, and studying different strategies/philosophies.

In 2013, I started my career as an Air Force Officer, and I’ve been leading and mentoring ever since. I don’t think there’s anything quite as fulfilling as witnessing and celebrating with other leaders as they realize their own capabilities, find their voice and unique style, and confidently tackle challenges head-on (where they had previously been paralyzed and held back by fear or uncertainty). So, I decided to offer 1:1 Leadership Coaching, in addition to the consulting side of my business.

Outside of work, I’m an avid puzzler and reader, love cuddling with my small potato (aka my dog, Nani), and find stillness and clarity by being in nature (you’ve probably noticed the ferns and mountains sprinkled throughout my branding - they’re a homage to a spectacular trip my husband and I took last year where we fell in love with NZ).

With nearly 12 years of experience leading diverse teams from 4 to 200 people across a wide range of organizational structures and industries, my passion is empowering and inspiring you to see your full (innate) capabilities, learn from some of my mistakes, so you don’t have to go through them too, find fulfillment and genuine joy in your role, and thrive no matter what challenges come your way.

I founded This Little Consulting Firm and started offering Leadership Coaching to share my experience, education, and personal lessons-learned to help other leaders thrive, the same way my coaches and mentors did for me. My structure and approach were built to model what I would want if I was seeking coaching: a judgement-free space where leaders can come for authentic (and confidential) discussion.

When you’re leading in high-pressure roles (especially once you promote and move further up the chain of command), I know first hand how hard it can be to find support and a safe space to bounce ideas around. I want to give you that space, so you can grow, cultivate your skills, and reach your unique definition of success (while also leading your team to do the same).

I’m especially passionate about working with leaders who don’t feel they have a support system in their current organization, or who need a neutral person to talk with who is unbiased and can lend a new perspective. You aren’t alone!

If you’ve never tried coaching and aren’t sure what to expect (or are on the fence), let’s connect! I’ll ask you more about the leadership role you’re in, what about my story resonated with you to better understand your interest in coaching, and where you’d like to be in the future. Then, I’ll provide clarity on how coaching can help get you there.

Choosing a coach is a very personal decision, and I want to make sure you feel completely comfortable working with me. So, please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have about me or the process. I promise to be transparent and honest always.

I hope to hear from you and would love to work with you!
