I have a fierce passion of working with people to equip them with "life skills" needed to navigate their world with resilience, compassion and courage.
I am an experienced business leader, coach, master facilitator and educator with a broad range of human behavior and organizational skills. I’ve worked across industries and around the globe with adults and children.
Business Experience
I spent 7 years with Deloitte working with global Fortune 500 clients on large-scale transformation initiatives and developed expertise in project management, organizational change, training design and learning technologies. I joined Johnson and Johnson as a manager for 7 years where I managed the Learning and Organization department responsible for Personal and Professional Development for 1,500+ employees ($1.5M budget). While at Johnson and Johnson, I demonstrated expertise in leadership development, learning program design, team management, program facilitation and coaching. I began my own consultancy and now work with clients and individuals as an advisor and partner.
I hold a Master’s degree in Organizational Leadership, a Bachelor’s degree in English and completed university courses at the Universidad de San Nicolas Hidalgo (Mexico). I am certified in the usage and interpretation of various assessment tools including Positive Intelligence (certified PQ Coach), HBDI® (Herrmann Brain Dominance Instrument), Emotional Intelligence (EQ Facilitator), StrengthsFinder, 360° Feedback facilitator and DDI’s Behavioral Interviewing / Targeted Selection.
I hold a Coaching Certificate from ATD and work 1:1 or with small groups to remove barriers and help my clients create breakthroughs by determining what gets in the way of their happiness and success. I’m a skilled, caring, authentic coach who partners with my clients to shift from negative mindsets and behaviors to more focused, positive and action-oriented ambitions.
About Me
My life's work is partnering with people to bring forth their talents, skills and personal satisfaction.
I call California Bay Area home with my husband, daughter, rescue dog and guinea pig. I am a lover of all things exploration including world travel, personal growth and education. My love for roaming has taken me to the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro, scuba diving under 3 oceans, 6 continents and running in the ring with a live bull!
