My Story

I know firsthand the importance of life coaching, because I once needed it myself.

In 2014, I found myself at a crossroads. I had just completed my Master’s degree and was working in a secure IT Director role. On paper, I had achieved many of the goals I set for myself. Yet internally, something felt missing. While my education was complete, my professional growth felt stagnant, and I began to question what was next.

At the same time, my personal life was shifting. I was experiencing empty nest syndrome and didn’t fully understand how deeply these life changes were impacting me. I wasn’t sure how to process my emotions or whether what I was feeling even made sense. What I did know was this: I wanted to work on myself, embrace the changes ahead, and grow through them rather than resist them.

That’s when I made a pivotal decision: I chose to invest in myself.

I took action and sought support through life coaching. That experience changed everything. It gave me clarity, confidence, and a renewed belief in what was possible, not only in my career but in my life. It helped me reconnect with myself and planted the seed for the work I would one day offer others.

Over time, that seed grew into purpose.

In October 2024, I rebranded my coaching practice to THRIVE Coaching™, launching my signature program, Thrive with a Divine Design State of Mind. I created the T.H.R.I.V.E. core principles to honor my own journey — the lessons, healing, and intentional growth that shaped who I am today.

What began as a personal investment has become a calling. Today, as a THRIVE Coach, I walk alongside others as they navigate life transitions, reconnect with their inner voice, and move forward with intention toward what their heart desires.

Experience That Shapes My Coaching

My work as a THRIVE Coach is also grounded in decades of professional experience.

Since 1990, I have worked in healthcare and information technology, serving in leadership roles since 2011 as both a manager and director. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Information Technology and an MBA, and throughout my career, I have navigated growth, change, responsibility, and transition within complex organizational environments.

Just as important as my education and leadership roles have been the mentorship, counseling, and support I received along the way. I did not grow alone — I grew because others invested in me, believed in me, and helped me develop during pivotal seasons of my life.

THRIVE Coaching™ is how I honor that journey. It is my way of stewarding what was given to me — sharing insight, encouragement, and lived wisdom to uplift others as they grow personally and professionally.
