About Me

After two decades as a C-suite gaming executive, I was keenly aware of the void between employees and management. I became a career coach to act as a catalyst for change by helping managers ask questions instead of providing answers, support employees instead of judging them, and facilitate their development through collaboration.

High-Achiever
I began my gaming career as a casino dealer and left as the Executive Vice President of Casino for Wynn Las Vegas. I would not have this success without the help and guidance of the leaders I supported or the dedication of the teams I led. I understand the influence mentors make and also the impact strong teams have on accomplished careers. Championing others to strengthen my team and companies was at the heart of my gaming career. It’s also the reason I left gaming for coaching.  

Game-Changer
I began my career when it was rare to see woman in management working on the casino floor and opportunities to succeed were limited. The pressure to conform and lead like my colleagues was intense, but I knew that I had to do it my way. I blazed my trail by being authentic and investing in relationships. The result was not only personal success, but also the development of dozens of gaming executives across the industry. I bring the sum of this experience to my coaching clients and will help you and your teams chart authentic paths to success. 

People-Centric Coach
I have a great reputation for seeing the spark that makes someone a great leader. As a coach, I share these insights and the proven people-centric management principles that helped my teams realize their full potential. To a company, this means I help you develop committed, resilient and high-achieving leadership teams who further organizational goals. For individuals, this means I help you achieve professional greatness by being fully present and authentic.

Wholehearted Career Counselor
I believe to be exceptional, leaders and employees must reach both their full potential and their fulfilled potential. When their professional and personal goals line up, leaders are more impassioned and impactful. As a coach, I’ll help you bring these goals into alignment and show you to use vulnerability as a strength to show up as your authentic self in business and in life.
