In my own words...
My drive to succeed in challenging work situations started early and continued throughout my career. While still in college at Penn State, I secured regular work at ABC Sports, traveling domestically and internationally for sporting events. Starting in my sophomore year, I completed my spring semester classwork on an accelerated schedule so I could work the Triple Crown horse racing events for ABC Sports; instead of attending my graduation ceremony, I worked the Preakness Stakes. Work highlights during college also included a management role at the Summer Olympics and a key role on an indie film that went on to win the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Combining real-world experience with academic studies, I graduated with honors and distinction, a deep appreciation for football, and a job at ABC Sports in NYC.
​
Embracing hard work and entrepreneurship, I’ve consistently had the confidence to make bold moves, such as funding my own jewelry company based on my personal designs and transitioning from a career in NYC to a new life in Los Angeles, without the security of a job. This same spirit drove me to enroll in an intense nine-month program and earn my Executive Coaching certification from the Hudson Institute of Coaching. I later achieved ACC accreditation from the International Coaching Federation and pursued further certifications, including studying for over 170 hours to earn the SHRM-CP credential by passing the reputationally challenging SHRM exam. All of these experiences reflect my commitment to lifelong learning and growth across my entire career.
​
Through these experiences, I’ve developed a deep understanding of what it takes to navigate uncertainty, take smart risks, and find opportunities in the midst of change. Whether it’s your business, personal development, or career advancement, I bring this same commitment and energy to my coaching and consulting work. Let’s connect and talk about how I can help you achieve your goals and create lasting change.​
