Leap and the net will appear.
Bold leadership delivers results—and strong communication makes it possible. I work with leaders and teams through executive coaching, workshops, and brand strategy to build clarity, trust, and alignment that drives performance and growth. Take the leap. As the Zen saying goes, the net will appear—though it may not look the way you expected.

My story.
With an MFA in directing from The New School for Drama and a Communications degree from Northwestern, my early career was spent helping actors bring complex stories to life. Later, I earned my Executive Coaching certification from Columbia University to bring that same level of clarity, presence, and impact to a different kind of performance: leadership.
Today, I partner with executives and teams across industries—from early-stage startups to global financial firms—helping them communicate with purpose, presence, and authenticity. I draw on my background in coaching, directing, and producing to help leaders find the right balance between gravity and humor, authority and approachability. Whether it’s navigating a high-stakes keynote, aligning a leadership team, or building trust with clients, I help people lead through story—clearly, confidently, and with intention.




Team Coaching and Workshops.
Boost your team’s impact with focused communication coaching and hands-on workshops. Through open dialogue, active listening, and real-time feedback, team coaching builds trust and alignment. Skill-specific workshops—tailored to your group’s needs—equip your team with the tools to communicate clearly, confidently, and drive results. Popular topics include executive presence, storytelling for influence, giving and receiving feedback, leading through change, and managing tough conversations.

Brand Positioning.
Envision your brand as a story waiting to be told—one that captivates, inspires, and connects. Every message we create aligns with your core values, ensuring your brand doesn’t just compete—it thrives. Together, we’ll bring your brand to life, crafting a compelling identity that resonates and engages your audience.

Find Clarity.
I'd love to discuss how my team and I can support your organization or projects.
