ABOUT

MY STORY

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, leadership, and the neurobiology of decision-making.

I began my corporate career at The Ernst & Young Center for Business Innovation and spent two decades in strategic business development in roles such as Vice President of Business Development, Consultant, and Advisory Board Member.

That work shaped how I understand leadership inside complex systems.

Today I advise women executives, founders, and thought leaders navigating relational complexity, uncertainty, and power dynamic. I work with women who want to do work they love — and give them love right back.

MY BACKGROUND

My advisory work draws from business strategy, relational systems, communication, and neuroscience, including training in:

The Neuroscience of Change
Transforming Stress & Anxiety via The Embodied Brain
Positive Intelligence
Red Team Thinking for Strategic Decision-Making
The Foundations of Great Coaching

I’m certified as a CPCC (Certified Professional Co-Active Coach) through The Coaches Training Institute and formerly as a PCC (Professional Certified Coach) through the International Coaching Federation. I’m also a certified mediator in Massachusetts.

Based in the United States, my work has included clients across the world, including Spain, Kenya, Colombia, Singapore, England, Scotland, and Canada.

My writing and commentary have appeared in publications in such as:

Huffington Post
Working Mother Magazine
Parents Magazine
Yahoo! News
Medium
Thought Catalog
Unlocked Magazine
Care2
Babble
Solo Parent Magazine

MY PERSPECTIVE

Organizations run on expectations, decisions, and execution.

They also run on power dynamic.

What gets defined matters.
What gets decided moves.
What gets executed determines outcome.

Women often enter leadership through performance and reliability.

Those strengths create access, but they don’t define alignment.

That creates a paradox.

Responsibility increases.
Visibility increases.
Authority does not always increase at the same pace.

The result is a pattern where effort expands while alignment is lost.

The work continues.

It no longer reflects you.

Leadership changes when alignment is defined and held.

Voice carries differently.
Alignment forms around direction.
Decisions move.

That shift matters.

DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT

My advisory work operates through MoxieLife Coach Inc., the company I founded in 2012.

The name reflects the origins of the work.

“Moxie” means fearless determination in everyday circumstances.

It is also the name of a famously terrible soda here in New England with the brilliant tagline:

Distinctively Different.

The phrase stayed with me.

Every person is inherently different.

Yet systems often reward conformity while relying on the difference that drives innovation and leadership.

Women experience that tension acutely.

Distinct perspective creates value.
Alignment determines whether that value shapes direction.

That is the work.

WHY THIS MATTERS

In 2014 I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and have been in remission since 2016 through the deliberate regulation of my own neurobiology.

That experience reinforced something fundamental:

The brain drives everything.

Understanding how the brain regulates attention, stress, and decision-making changes how leadership shows up in the room.

Women executives, founders, and thought leaders enter leadership to shape what happens next.

They build companies, advance careers, write books, and lead initiatives that influence organizations and communities.

Leadership at that level requires clarity, authority, and the ability to move through complex environments without losing perspective or health.

Integrity.
Respect.
Freedom.
Choice.

These values guide the work and the leadership it supports.
