Although now based in Norway, I’m originally from the United States and pursued a love of music from an early age. My passion allowed me to travel the world, live abroad, earn a doctorate, and gain ten years of invaluable leadership experience as an Executive Director. I could have easily ridden a wave of success until I retired.

However, life threw a curveball. A teenager asked for my help and my life was forever changed. I realized a life of helping others was my true calling. Initially thinking I wanted to become a therapist, I completed a graduate degree and became a Licensed Master Social Worker.​

As I searched for ways to contribute and be of service, luckily, fate introduced me to an executive coach who became my mentor. I entered a program to become a Certified Executive Coach through the Center for Executive Coaching. I also became a Professional Certified Coach through the International Coaching Federation.

As a result of helping clients ask and answer big questions about life, I developed the Inner Leadership framework. I have shared this concept with leaders at organizations in the U.S., Europe, and India. I have published the Inner Leadership Business Series through Bookboon, the world’s most used corporate learning solution. My first full-length book, “The Privilege of a Lifetime: Becoming Who You Truly Are”  will be available through Creatively Centered Press in late 2022.
