Work With Me to Connect With Your Best and Achieve Extraordinary Results

I am an innovative leader with over 25 years of teaching, management and organizational experience in a variety of educational, healthcare and business settings. I am a Certified Professional Coach who works with individuals and organizations to facilitate clarity of focus and movement towards goals.

I earned my Master of Education from the University of Toronto during which I specialized in Adult Education, and more specifically, in the area of adult change and the psychology of how adults successfully manage transitions in their professional and personal lives. I received my Certified Professional Coaching designation from the Adler School of Professional Coaching (Adler International). Since 2002, I have coached and consulted through my private practice ‘Transitions’ Edge’.

I have always been intrigued by what makes people grow, evolve, learn and ultimately become the best version of themselves. As I worked toward my Master of Education I became fascinated with why some people were able to successfully navigate change and engage in personal development and others were not. My intrigue led me to the emerging coaching profession which provided a process and a framework to support people in establishing and achieving their goals.

I am passionate about supporting people and organizations in successfully navigating change. My interpersonal and organizational skills blended with my understanding of people and their growth help me create engaging, inspiring and successful coaching experiences for those I work with.

And Just Like That
