Woman with long curly hair wearing sunglasses and a black leather jacket standing on a stone-paved waterfront at sunset.

I am an Executive Coach with Novus Global, partnering with founders and teams who are ready to move from high performance to meta performance. I help leaders break through perceived limits to create results that once felt out of reach.

With over a decade of experience in the nonprofit sector and early roots in the startup space, I have worked alongside entrepreneurs and visionary leaders building something bigger than themselves. Most recently, I served as Executive Director of the Tri-State chapter of Defy Ventures, leading initiatives that equipped currently and formerly incarcerated individuals with entrepreneurship training, career readiness skills, and personal development tools.

My work centers on leading through complexity, sustaining bold vision, and building cultures aligned around purpose. I am deeply committed to expanding what leaders, especially women and founders from underrepresented communities, believe is possible. Originally from New York City, I now live in Austin, Texas with my husband, two-year-old son, and our dog, where I continue to build a life and career rooted in vision, courage, and growth.

What Sets Me Apart

A Vision-First Approach
I don’t begin with tactics or productivity hacks. We start by clarifying a vision that is meaningful, measurable, and calls you forward. We continue to refine your vision until it resonates—because clarity at this stage shapes every decision and commitment that comes next.

Grounded Leadership Experience
For over a decade, I’ve led and coached in the nonprofit and social impact space, working alongside founders, executives, and teams navigating complexity, growth, and high-stakes change. That experience allows me to meet leaders where they are—especially when the pressure is high and the path forward isn’t obvious.

Fierce Advocacy, Thoughtful Challenge
Clients experience me as warm, direct, and deeply committed to their growth. I bring presence, curiosity, and challenge to every conversation—and I don’t shy away from holding a high standard for the future you say you want.
