“I was drawn to a career in marketing by an interest in human insights and compelling forms of expression. What led me to shift from marketing to coaching was the realization that the most rewarding thing I did in my career was to help people grow.  And the skills I developed in my years helping clients build brands - clarifying goals, anchoring identity in values, and communicating for emotional connection - can provide value to my coaching clients.”
