I know firsthand what it feels like to lead under pressure. For more than 20 years, I lived it in Division I athletics—first as an athlete at Purdue, then for 17 years as a coach at the highest levels of collegiate and international swimming. I coached three NCAA championship teams, represented the U.S. as a National Team coach, and had the privilege of working with Olympic medalists and some of the best athletes in the world. I also know the weight of the expectations, the relentless pace, and the constant pressure to measure success by the performance of others.

That’s why I do this work. Today, I support coaches and leaders in athletics and beyond who want to grow their leadership without losing themselves in the process. My approach blends lived experience with rigorous training: I completed the Executive Program in Women’s Leadership at Stanford Graduate School of Business, I’m a certified Executive Leadership & Performance Coach through Brown University and ACT Leadership, and I hold an ACC credential with the International Coaching Federation.

What makes me unique as a coach is that I’ve been exactly where my clients are. I understand both the thrill of achievement and the hidden costs of the role. I’ve also invested deeply in my own education and growth, so I can offer leaders not just empathy, but proven tools, frameworks, and perspective to help them lead with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.
