Career coaching has been pivotal in my own life in college, graduate school and a few additional times as I have made major career changes. Working with a coach helps to process the decision making process, learn from an expert and move forward confidently.

I have a bachelor’s degree in Finance, a Master’s Degree in Human Resources and a coaching certification. My experience spans from insurance underwriting, HR management, recruiting/interviewing, training, development and coaching, business startups and currently franchise ownership with Chick-fil-A.

My goal is to coach, empower and enable leaders to reach their full potential through coaching, mentorship, goal setting and development. It has been amazing to see life trajectories change for the people I am blessed to work with and even more amazing to see God at work in people’s lives. I believe we are entrusted with this life to be good stewards and serve God and others well and I strive to do so every day.

Pivots/Challenges

I have made a few significant career pivots in life. After earning a bachelor’s degree in finance, I worked for 3 years in the insurance industry and learned that I love people and am good with numbers. I went back to school and after earning a master’s in Human Resources, I pursued a 14 year career in human resources, both in manufacturing plants and corporate settings. I then switched careers again to become a Chick-fil-A franchise owner and have loved this new challenge for over 10 years.

Faith journey in the workplace.

In the HR corporate setting it was difficult to discuss faith at work, and even prohibited. In that setting I was able to mentor and discuss faith as others brought up and initiated the conversation. As a franchise owner, it has been much easier since I am building a faith based culture and our purpose and values are faith based and wholistic. My faith is an integral part of my identity and therefore who I am, and I am able to bring it up throughout my conversations and meetings in my current role.
