Executive Coach & Leadership Team Facilitator for ambitious leaders navigating growth, change, and complexity.

 

Professional Highlights

I am a Principal Consultant, Executive Coach, and Leadership Team Facilitator who helps senior leaders and organizations elevate how they lead— especially in moments of growth, pressure, change and complexity.

Through my firm, Mind The Core, I give leaders the experience of being led, too.

I work with executives and leadership teams to create clarity, alignment, and courage required to navigate high-stakes leadership moments, organizational transition, and strategic growth. My work helps leaders strengthen executive presence, make decisive decisions under pressure, and lead with greater confidence, accountability and impact.

Clients often describe me as a steady presence in challenging leadership environments— helping them to accelerate access to their own clarity, deepen trust in their leadership, and move from observation to deliberate, intentional action.

My work includes:

  • Executive coaching for senior leaders and high-potential executives

  • Facilitating leadership team strategy sessions, retreats, and offsites

  • Advising organizations through transition, growth, and change

  • Developing leaders who lead with clarity, accountability, and courage

I am a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), leadership strategist, and facilitator trusted by growth-stage leadership teams, senior executives, founder-led companies, and high-growth organizations navigating increasing complexity and change.

In addition to my coaching certification, I am certified in:

  • William Bridges’ Leading Organizational Transition

  • Innosight’s Driving Innovation

  • Predictive Index

  • Hogan Assessments

I maintain a deeply retained executive coaching and advisory practice and am known for creating transformational leadership experiences that help leaders strengthen alignment, elevate team effectiveness, and lead more intentionally across their organizations.

I am also:

  • Author of A Pocket Guide to Empowered Leadership Teams

  • Creator of RESET, a twice-yearly women’s leadership retreat

  • Writer of the weekly Substack, Reset and Lead

Before founding Mind The Core, I worked across nonprofit and consulting environments (both internally and externally), helping organizations strengthen leadership pipelines, build high-performing cultures, and develop teams capable of achieving meaningful results.

I earned a Bachelor of Arts in Leadership Studies from Providence College with interdisciplinary studies in business management, communication, sociology, and public service.

Early Days

Leadership has always been deeply personal to me.

Growing up in a single-parent household as the oldest sibling, leadership was never simply a title — it was responsibility, a mindset, presence, and often necessity. Long before I formally studied leadership, I learned how to navigate change, uncertaintly, create stability, and bring others with me through change and uncertain environments.

Those early experiences shaped a belief that continues to guide my work today:

Leadership is not defined by position. It is defined by presence.

Outside my home, I carried that same leadership into athletics, service, student organizations, work, and community impact work. “Being in my leadership” became the place where I felt most alive, most grounded, and most capable of creating meaningful impact.

Several formative experiences deepened that understanding, including:

  • Representing Massachusetts at the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership World Leadership Congress in Washington, D.C

  • Participating (with a fundraising minimum) in the Massachusetts Avon Walk for Breast Cancer as one of it’s youngest walkers

  • Receiving a full scholarship to attend the National LeaderShape Institute

  • Serving as the first National Training Chair for the American Cancer Society Colleges Against Cancer program, helping expand the organization from 100 to more than 400 college chapters nationwide

These experiences taught me that leadership is not simply something to study— it is something to embody, activate, and multiply through others.

That belief continues to shape my work today as I help leadership and organizations navigate complexity, strengthen alignment, and lead ways that create lasting impact for both their organizations and the people within them.
