Everyone is resourceful.
I’m passionate about meeting people where they are and helping them move forward with clarity and confidence. Whether you’re figuring out your place in a family business, looking to align your giving with your values, or navigating a career transition, I’m here to help you explore what’s next.
My path has been anything but ordinary. I’ve led businesses, built a successful creative career working with brands like KitchenAid and Starbucks, and founded a donor-advised fund to support causes close to my heart. Along the way, I’ve learned the power of aligning your work with your values—and now I’m dedicated to helping others do the same.
I earned my executive coaching credentials from the highly respected Hudson Institute. My coaching style is warm, curious, and grounded in real-world experience. I create a space where you can explore your goals, uncover your strengths, and take steps toward the life you truly want.
My top priority is making sure you feel supported, inspired, and ready to move forward.
My Approach is informed by:
My coaching approach is deeply informed by a unique blend of business acumen, entrepreneurial spirit, and a profound commitment to purpose-driven impact. My foundation stems from my experience as a 4th-generation family member and former owner of a nationally recognized company. This background instilled in me a deep understanding of complex organizational dynamics, the importance of exceptional customer service, and the power of strong community engagement. I witnessed firsthand how a legacy of success is built on values and people.
Simultaneously, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to found and cultivate a successful recipe development and food styling business, collaborating with renowned brands like KitchenAid, Bob's Red Mill, and Starbucks for over 13 years. This experience honed my creative problem-solving skills, my ability to navigate diverse industries, and my passion for bringing innovative ideas to life.
Following the sale of the family business, I embarked on a personal journey of values alignment, leading me to establish Niveau Philanthropy, a donor-advised fund focused on addressing critical issues such as food security, human resources, and climate action. This transition allowed me to delve into the complexities of the nonprofit and social enterprise sectors, gaining invaluable insights into how to create sustainable and meaningful impact.
Now, as a coach, donor, volunteer, and consultant, I leverage this diverse tapestry of experiences to guide individuals and organizations toward achieving their full potential. My coaching is rooted in a holistic understanding of business, entrepreneurship, and philanthropy, enabling me to provide tailored support that addresses both professional and personal growth. I bring a practical, results-oriented approach, combined with a deep empathy and a commitment to empowering clients to discover their authentic purpose and create lasting change.
