ASCEND

I work with professionals at moments when familiar strategies no longer fit and the next step is unclear. These inflection points—career transitions, leadership shifts, or questions of alignment—can be disorienting even for highly capable people. My role is to help clients navigate them with clarity, steadiness, and intention.

EXPERIENCE

My perspective is shaped by leadership and diplomatic work across Francophone Africa and Russophone Central Asia. As a former American diplomat and global health leader, I operated in complex, high‑stakes environments where decisions mattered and ambiguity was constant. This experience informs how I help clients navigate power, pressure, and change.

PHILOSOPHY

I believe effective leadership begins with clarity—about values, priorities, and constraints. My approach emphasizes thoughtful reflection alongside practical strategy, helping clients align how they lead with what matters most to them. Sustainable success comes from decisions that are both intentional and grounded.

I bring a multidisciplinary foundation to my coaching practice, with academic training in molecular biology and public health from UC Berkeley, formal leadership coach training from Georgetown University, and ICF‑accredited Associate Certified Coach (ACC) credentials.

DRIVE
