I've spent much of my career helping students and young adults navigate important transitions, decisions, and next steps.

What makes this work especially meaningful to me is that I've lived many of those transitions myself. I've changed majors, transferred colleges, explored different career paths, completed graduate school later in life, and continued learning through additional training and professional development along the way.

As a mom of teenagers and young adults, I also understand the questions, pressures, and possibilities that come both from a student's perspective and a parent's, in this stage of life.

Today, I continue to support young people through my work as a volunteer mentor with Carolina Youth Coalition, helping high school students navigate the college search and application process.

I believe that finding the right next step isn't about having all the answers. It's about understanding yourself well enough to move forward with confidence.

I hold a Master of Arts in Education and Human Development from the University of Colorado Denver, where my graduate research focused on college readiness and the executive function skills that support student success.

My professional experience spans leadership, advising, career development, and student success roles across higher education, K–12 schools, workforce development, and nonprofit organizations. Throughout my career, I have helped hundreds of students navigate academic, career, and life transitions.

My professional credentials include certifications in CliftonStrengths, Global Career Development Facilitation (GCDF), Academic Life Coaching, and UNC Charlotte College & Career Coaching. I continue to expand my expertise in workforce development, student well-being, postsecondary planning, and inclusive coaching practices.

There isn't one right path - only the path that's right for you.

My role isn't to tell you what to do. It's to help you gain clarity, better understand your strengths, explore your options, and move forward with confidence.

Together, we'll:

✓ Discover what makes you unique

✓ Evaluate the paths that fit you best

✓ Leave with a personalized plan for what's next

Whether you're considering college, exploring career options, pursuing a trade or training program, taking a gap year, or charting a different path entirely, coaching gives you the space to think clearly, make informed decisions, and take meaningful action.
