The Author

I wrote, Craft & Own Your Career, The Zero -Fluff Guide To Ignite Your Purpose and Map Your Path, for those who recognize their own power and responsibility to continually envision, plan, commit and follow through to actualize the career they want and deserve. This book resulted from me viewing my career journey from the perspectives of both a newbie and seasoned career professional to explore what I’ve learned about crafting a fulfilling career. Those lived journeys and experiences build the foundation of my OWN IT process, and I wrote this book to share my learnings and help others.

While the examples and stories I’ll reference are from larger organizations, their ideas remain applicable for organizations of any size. Whether you work in a startup, small business, or nonprofit organization, you can benefit from my OWN IT process.

I’m an adjunct faculty member at Northwestern University in Chicago and an instructor for the Masters of Learning & Organization Change degree in the School of Education & Social Policy. I’m also an adjunct faculty member for the Hudson Institute of Coaching.

I help leaders achieve the success they want faster by giving them the clarity they need when they need it most! Coaching gives leaders an edge: it raises their game at a faster and more engaging pace.

As a business generalist with coaching/consulting background my initial focus is to thoroughly understand the nature and scope of a client’s business, including, vision, goals, strategy, operations, challenges, strengths and improvement needs, leadership team, customers and competitive environment.
