Biography

As a coach, I love working with clients to lead intentional lives and achieve their true personal and professional aspirations.  I use my professional coaching training to support and champion clients to achieve their dreams, goals and desired results.  In working with executives and individuals, we imagine the future possibilities and shape them in a way consistent with their beliefs and values. I often work with individuals experiencing change in their business and/or life, with a goal of being intentional about their path forward, including a healthy environment.

I personally benefited from stellar executive coaches, including Marshall Goldsmith. I requested coaching in my vice president role transition and in my role as a high potential director. I continue to work with a coach; one of whom helped me create my own coaching business, allowing me to pursue my professional passion, resulting in immense personal satisfaction.

I completed the CTI Co-Active Coach^® program, investing more than 200 hours to complete globally recognized training, meeting the guidelines of the International Coach Federation (ICF Global). 

Prior to starting my own business, I was Vice President of Human Resources for Medtronic’s $6B global cardiac and heart rhythm organization. I worked with leaders around the world to drive their businesses and functions. I also coached high potential employees as part of a company leadership development program. Previously, I worked for two other Fortune 200 global corporations - General Mills and IBM.

I hold an MS from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and a BA from St. Olaf College, Northfield, MN.

I am a member of the ICF South Florida Welcoming Committee and I'm on the Board of the International Coach Federation (ICF) Minnesota Chapter. I am an avid parent, cyclist, and runner having completed 8 marathons. 

I reside in Naples, Florida, and Minneapolis, Minnesota.
