For emerging leaders — particularly women and individuals from diverse backgrounds — feeling stuck in their career trajectory, my story and expertise resonate with your journey.

With over 25 years in the fast-paced world of Fortune 100 tech, I’ve been in your shoes. As one of the few women/people of color leaders, I've cracked the code on leading innovative, inclusive teams and navigating the labyrinth of corporate structures to clinch VP/SVP titles.

At the heart of my leadership has always been the ability to cultivate diverse teams — spanning race, gender, orientation, language, age and more. It's not just about representation but leveraging empathy, transparency, and emotional intelligence to create spaces where these teams have not only delivered groundbreaking solutions but have grown and thrived in a truly inclusive environment.

Through Valiant Coaching, I'm channeling my experiences and knowledge to empower leaders like you. Whether you're looking to amplify your executive presence, communicate more effectively, or navigate to higher echelons in your company, I'm here to guide you to be both authentic and successful.

My foundation is rooted in esteemed academic institutions — a Bachelor's from Carnegie Mellon, a Master's from the University of Pittsburgh, with specialist training from Rutgers, Northwestern, and Cornell University, to name a few. I also boast certifications from the ICF, the Institute of Coaching, and an expertise in team coaching anchored in ORSC™ methodologies.

My collaborative journey has led me to partner with an impressive array of organizations, from tech giants like Google, Stripe, Amazon and Coinbase to renowned institutions like Cigna, Marriott, University of Chicago, and PNC Bank.

As we embark on this transformative journey together, I offer more than just expertise. I offer a mirror to your aspirations, a roadmap to your goals, and a testament to the potential that lies within you.
