About Me

As a leader who has been coached, I know the value and impact of coaching. My coach once asked, “What brings you joy?” That question started me on a journey that led to my becoming a Certified Executive Coach following a long career in leadership positions in the post-secondary sector of Alberta, Canada. My career has afforded me opportunities to navigate complex structures; work with leaders at multiple levels across the organization; collaborate with cross-functional teams; and develop, mentor and coach high-performing teams.

As a leadership coach, I have the privilege of coaching internationally with clients situated in not-for-profits, and private and public organizations, including the health-care, post-secondary and a variety of private sectors. I value lifelong learning, so I get great satisfaction in having a front-row seat where I get to watch the learning that my clients experience.

I believe we are each made uniquely and have a purpose in life. I also believe that, regardless of the title or position we hold, we have the potential to lead from where we stand. These are beliefs I bring to my coaching. Above all, I bring integrity, honesty and commitment.

I hold a Graduate Certificate in Executive Coaching from Royal Roads University, and Bachelor of Commerce and Master of Education degrees, plus a Gold College Leadership Certificate from the University of Alberta. In addition, I am certified practitioner of EQi 2.0 and EQi 360, and the Myers Briggs Type Indicator.

I am an Associate Certified Coach and member in good standing of the International Coaching Federation and the Council on the Advancement and Support of Education.

When not listening deeply to my coaching clients, I take joy in spending time with my children and granddaughter. You may find my husband and I on the walking trails near our home with our dog, Zoe, or enjoying cuisine at nearby restaurants.
