I started this work because I saw a gap in leadership support for coaches. Too often, we’re appointed to leadership roles with the unspoken expectation that we already have all the answers — and if we don’t, we should just figure it out. But who do coaches turn to when they need to talk through self-doubt, bounce ideas, or get support for their own goals?

I wanted to create that space. Coaches are some of the most selfless leaders I know — pouring everything into their athletes — but rarely does anyone pour into them. I know this firsthand. For more than 20 years, I lived the reality of 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.

And while those experiences brought immense joy and pride, I also know the weight of expectations, the relentless pace, and the pressure of leadership. That perspective drives the work I do today: supporting 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, earned my Leadership & Performance Coaching Certification through Brown University and ACT Leadership, and hold an Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credential with the International Coaching Federation. I continue to pursue advanced education and professional development because I believe great coaches never stop learning.

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 leadership. I’ve invested deeply in my own education and growth so I can offer leaders not just empathy, but perspective, tools, and support to help them reflect, grow, and lead with clarity, resilience, and authenticity.
