Executive Ascent
Step into the seat you've earned — presence, negotiation, and the first 90 days of a bigger role.
Transition coaching for elite women
You didn't come this far to only come this far.

Three ways we do the next step together
The Pivot
Change industries, launch the venture, or redesign the whole life. We map it, then we move.
Life After Sport
For collegiate athletes: translate elite discipline into a career identity that actually fits.
For collegiate athletes
The season ends. The drive doesn't.
You've spent a decade being coached — and then, suddenly, nobody's writing the plan. We rebuild your identity outside the jersey, translate your competitive edge onto a resume, and get you into rooms where that edge is rare.
- Identity work beyond the sport
- Resume + interview translation of athletic wins
- Network mapping into your target industry

Welcome, I’m your next-step partner
I spent twelve years inside boardrooms and locker rooms watching brilliant women plateau — not from lack of talent, but from lack of a plan built for who they're becoming. Ascend exists to close that gap. Direct, warm, and relentlessly focused on your move.
Certified Professional Life CoachCertified Life Coach Institute (C.L.C.)
Hello! I’m excited to introduce myself as a dedicated life coach with a unique blend of experience that sets me apart. My true passion lies in helping others identify and journey towards their next best step in life. I am here to provide the guidance and encouragement you need to navigate challenges and reach your goals. With years spent coaching high-level National and International athletes, I have honed my expertise in life skills development and goal-setting, guiding individuals to harness their strengths and achieve their dreams. My approach is collaborative and supportive, ensuring that you feel empowered every step of the way.
In addition to my coaching background, I bring valuable experience as a First Responder serving for nearly a decade, where I learned to handle emergencies with composure and compassion. This role has not only sharpened my strategic thinking but has also deepened my commitment to helping people in distress. I believe in building bridges and fostering connections, which is essential for personal and collective growth.
Lastly, but most important and my favorite role has been that of “Mom” a domestic CEO my family for over twenty years with grace and insurmountable challenges. Just like you, I’ve met doubt, disappointment and fear. Good news, that’s not our destination, merely places along the journey. If you want a safe space to start.
Let’s partner and craft a new path from where you are to where you want to be.
