I am a coach that walks alongside my clients to solve complex problems. Whether helping a new leader find their footing with a new team or advising a veteran public health practitioner on creative ways to balance the realities of caring for the public’s health without becoming overwhelmed, my approach to strengths-based coaching is tailor-made for people working in the public interest across California. My own path began in community health in Boston, helping uninsured and underinsured residents understand and exercise their healthcare rights — work that taught me durable change starts with the people closest to a problem, not with solutions designed around them. And after a 28-year career managing multisectoral and complex public health issues domestically and internationally, I believe my experience could benefit fellow colleagues like you. Let’s work together to turn your strengths and experience into clear, confident action, so you leave our work not just with a plan, but with a deeper trust in yourself as a leader.
