Let’s get to know each other.
My Story
I worked in the finance industry for over 30 years as an Analyst, a Portfolio Manager and Chief Investment Officer for firms based in NYC, SF, LA and most recently Washington, DC. I managed and mentored individuals and teams and often worked under trying circumstances with volatile markets and difficult business conditions. While my career as an investment professional was stimulating and challenging, it was also extremely stressful. I had a few mentors over the years, but I would have benefited from having more. I never worked with an executive coach and now, as I reflect back, I wish I had. I am certain I would have accomplished more, and life would have been just a little bit easier. A coach would have supported me during difficult times which would have helped me be more effective and productive at work and would have helped me remember to prioritize self-care which I now realize is priceless.
In 2023, after I left my last job in finance, I decided to transition to Executive Coaching full-time. I aspire to help people like myself who work hard but struggle with stress in the workplace and balancing work with the desire to live in the present and have a meaningful life. I want to help empower my clients by acting as a non-judgmental sounding board. I want to help them dream big and accomplish their goals. I encourage self-accountability so professionals and individuals can perform at their personal best, reach the milestones they have set for themselves and live a life of fulfillment and inner peace.
