Bio

It was a Friday night in early December 2013, and I was falling asleep standing up at a concert. “I cannot keep going like this,” I thought to myself, as I reflected on my job teaching 3rd graders. The next day, I told my family that I needed to quit, but they encouraged me to teach through the school year, which is what I ended up doing.

I have had many moments like this, where a lightning bolt revelation comes to me and I change paths in my career. I went from teacher, to working with my entrepreneur Dad (with work on the side editing, writing, delivering food via bicycle, program managing an entrepreneur accelerator program), to figuring out that I wanted to become a life and career coach. 

In 2016, I finally found my calling. I took a year-long coach training program and haven’t looked back. Today, I have finally found a company that feels like home and challenges me to live a big life. I love to coach because it truly is my ideal role: it gives me purpose by helping people in a tangible way daily, allows me to use my strengths and passion, and pays me well. 

Deciding to work with a coach puts you ahead of the game because you are choosing action toward a new life. As your coach, I will make sure to challenge you in our work together and keep your positive momentum going from a place of calm. I will hold you accountable and help you figure out what it is you really want from this next chapter of your life.  

Beyond my work as a coach, I love to play soccer, talk about and watch tv and film, act, travel, cook/eat/all things food, see live music and comedy, snowboard, and spend quality time with loved ones. I love my work as a career coach here at HTYC and look forward to helping you achieve your dreams!

Favorite books

“The Left Hand of Darkness,” a science fiction novel by Ursula K. Le Guin. I love all poetry by Shel Silverstein, Danez Smith, and John Murillo, most books I’ve read by Haruki Murakami, and “The Power of Now” by Eckhart Tolle.

fun fact

I have played soccer almost every year of my life since I was 4 years old, I have dreams of being an actor in TV and film, and my great-grandfather was a success during the Great Depression in NYC by selling fake feathers for hats!

why i work with htyc

HTYC has always existed for me. What I mean is that I have always believed that there are workplaces out there where I would get to do meaningful work that compensated and treated me well, and work with people who I respected and enjoyed being around. HTYC is a company that leads by example and supports its staff to have the big, juicy lives that HTYC clients are after as well. 

Working with HTYC, I know that I will be challenged to grow into the best current version of myself possible and will help others do the same.
