How I Got Here

I spent the first part of my career as a creative, making films for companies like Visa, Cisco, and Intel. I directed leadership stories, culture films, and big sales conference productions. Every project started with a subject, a crew, and the question I never got tired of asking: what's the real story here?

That instinct for listening, finding the arc, and pulling the through line shaped everything about how I work.

My Turning Point

Kaiser Permanente eventually brought me inside. I inherited a large team that had been struggling for a long time. Good people who weren't operating like a team, with low morale and missed targets across every measure. Slowly, intentionally, we found our footing.

Something shifted in me during that time. I became less interested in the story on screen and more interested in what makes a leader worth following. That question didn't let me go.

A classroom or conference room with a woman standing and presenting to a group of diverse adults seated around tables, with a presentation slide on the screen behind her.

After getting my master's in Organization Development, I started facilitating with executive teams and consulting inside organizations. Coaching certification came next, and with it the work I do now.

The listening, the instinct for finding someone's story, and the ability to hold the whole system while staying present to what's right in front of me. It's always been about finding the truth and helping someone see it clearly.

Outside of Work

I live in Oakland with my husband, our rescue dog, and two extremely unbothered cats. Our kids are both in college now, so the house is quieter and we travel more.

I spent time in Chile and Colombia as an exchange student — where my love of adventure started, and where I first fell in love with Spanish. (Spanish and I have had a complicated relationship ever since.)

My husband has convinced me to do 98 escape rooms across a dozen countries, including one outside Barcelona ranked among the best in the world. In 2027 we're heading to Egypt for the six-minute total solar eclipse. I'm an avid reader and volunteer with animal rescue organizations.

Slow down, see clearly, and lead with conviction.
