Leadership isn’t a role you step into—it’s a way of being you live from
I am the leader’s coach; the one my clients bring in as:
An architect for helping change and possibility come to life
A refreshing advocate and expander who will hold them to their potential and support them to succeed
A leader and facilitator of transformative, powerful shared team experiences
A game-changer for how to gain value from shared experiences & meetings
When I’m not coaching, facilitating leadership teams or leadership experiences, you’ll find me skiing, baking chocolate chip cookies, planning our next trip, or most likely, spending time outdoors with the most important part of my world, my husband and two boys.
Professional Highlights
I have a proven track record of advising and partnering with executives, leadership teams, and leaders who are ready to upgrade their courage.
A Certified Professional Co-active Coach, a sharp strategy curator, and powerful team facilitator (and coach), I have extensive expertise in helping leaders to strategically step into the leadership it will take to lead change, people, and navigate the unknown.
In addition to my coaching certification, I am also certified in programs and assessments including: William Bridges’- Leading Organizational Transition, Innosight’s- Driving Innovation, the Predictive Index, and the Hogan Suite.
Prior to Mind The Core, I worked at a nonprofit, and three other consulting firms, always deeply involved in developing engaged communities, high performance cultures, next level leaders, and teams that win.
I hold my Bachelor of Arts in Leadership Studies, from Providence College; this is an individualized major (I crafted, vetted, and had approved). It was designed to be focused on Leadership, Teamwork and Communication through integrating 17 essential courses from Business Management, Public Service and Sociology departments.
I live my ever-evolving leadership and take pride in the way I help others to do this too.
Early Days
Leadership has always meant something to me.
I grew up the oldest of three in a single-parent household, where leadership wasn’t a title—it was a state and an opportunity.
It was whoever could stay grounded, take responsibility, and help others rise with them.
Early on, I learned something that shaped everything that followed: leadership isn’t about the designated position—it’s about presence.
And the most powerful leaders help others realize they can lead too.
Outside my home, I sought out places where leadership could be practiced, not performed—through community, service, and shared responsibility.
Over time, “being in my leadership” became my zone.
More than confidence, it gave me the ability to activate others.
To build momentum.
To create real impact.
Some early milestones along that path:
Selected to represent the state of Massachusetts at the Hugh O’Brian Youth Leadership (HOBY) World Conference in Washington, DC at age 15
Celebrated as the youngest participant (at age 17) in the Massachusetts Avon Walk for Breast Cancer—a 60-mile walk with a significant fundraising commitment
Awarded a scholarship to attend the week-long LeaderShape Institute in Illinois at age 21
Appointed the first National Training Chair for the American Cancer Society’s Colleges Against Cancer program, where our student leadership team helped scale the organization from 100 to more than 400 college chapters nationwide
