I have spent more than twenty-five years leading organizations, guiding teams through complexity, and helping people rediscover the deeper purpose that sits beneath their work. Over time, one truth has become clear to me: real transformation does not begin with striving, speed, or perfection. It begins with presence — with the moment we finally slow down enough to hear our lives speaking back to us.

​

My path has never been a straight line. I grew up learning how to succeed, how to perform, and how to hold things together. For years, that strategy worked. It opened doors, earned respect, and built a career I am proud of. But it came at the cost of something quieter and more essential: the ability to lead from my inner steadiness rather than from urgency.

 

Like many of the leaders I coach today, I reached a point where the old ways of pushing no longer created the progress they once did. Something in me began to ask for a different way — one rooted in alignment, clarity, and a deeper sense of meaning. That question reshaped everything: how I lead, how I serve, and how I accompany others through their own transitions.

​

My Approach

​

My coaching is grounded in presence, purpose, and an unhurried curiosity about what is trying to emerge in a person’s life or leadership. I help clients recognize the patterns that keep them reactive, reconnect to the values that anchor them, and cultivate a steadiness that endures even in times of upheaval.

​

Leaders often arrive with familiar challenges: over-functioning, navigating complexity, carrying more than their share, or searching for clarity amid rapid change. Together, we slow the pace enough to listen beneath the surface — not to escape responsibility but to lead from a deeper center of purpose rather than from pressure.

​

My clients describe the work not as “fixing” anything, but as returning to themselves. They discover clarity in places that once felt confusing, make decisions with more confidence, and experience leadership as something grounded rather than driven.

​

Professional Background

​

My academic foundation includes an MBA in Management of Technology from Georgia Tech and advanced Innovation and Entrepreneurship certification from Stanford University. Earlier in my career, I was honored as a Fast Forward Magazine “30 Under 30” Award recipient.

​

Today, I serve as the Executive Director of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta, where I oversee strategy, finance, HR, IT, operations, and organizational culture. In this role, I help teams build trust, navigate change, and move from urgency into alignment.

​

In addition to my work at UUCA, I co-founded Empty Closets Community Services, a platform that has been a place of hope for over 92,000 LGBTQ+ youth, providing them with education and peer support. I also served as a Justice-Building Innovator with the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee and completed the United Way VIP program, which prepares nonprofit leaders for meaningful board service.

 

I'm especially proud to have spent over a decade as a judge for The International Academy of Digital Arts and Sciences, where I help select winners of the Webby and Anthem Awards. These awards celebrate global excellence in creativity, design, storytelling, and values-driven digital impact, connecting individuals and communities worldwide.

​

What Guides My Work

​

Across every chapter of my life — executive leadership, ministry, digital strategy, social entrepreneurship — one thread has remained constant: I am called to help people and organizations step into clarity, courage, and connection.

I believe that leadership is not a title, but a way of being. It is something we practice, moment by moment, breath by breath, especially when the world feels unsteady. I help leaders move from performance to purpose, from reactivity to presence, and from complexity to meaning.
