About Me

I am a Certified Life & Leadership Coach with a passion for helping individuals navigate life transitions with clarity, confidence, and purpose. With more than a decade of experience in coaching, mentoring, and personal development, I specialize in supporting women and young adults as they rebuild, refocus, and grow into the next chapter of their lives.

I am professionally trained through Lewis University’s Organizational Leadership Coaching program, and I hold a Master of Science in Adult Education from Troy University as well as a Master of Public Administration with a Certificate in Nonprofit Management & Leadership from Auburn University at Montgomery (AUM). This combination of coaching expertise, adult learning theory, and leadership training allows me to approach each client’s journey with both structure and empathy.

My background in community empowerment, workforce development, and nonprofit leadership has shaped my holistic coaching style—one that blends encouragement, practical strategy, mindset strengthening, and purpose-driven guidance. I believe every person holds untapped potential within them, and my role is to help them discover their inner strength, embrace new possibilities, and take meaningful steps toward the life they desire.

Whether you are navigating change, rebuilding after a challenging season, or searching for clarity and direction, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where growth and transformation can truly happen.

I bring more than a decade of experience in coaching, mentoring, and personal development across both workforce and community-based settings. My professional background includes leading career readiness programs, supporting returning citizens, guiding young adults through educational and career transitions, and helping individuals overcome personal and emotional barriers to success.
