Meet Your Coach
Life unfolds through many paths and seasons, and mine has been shaped by a lifelong immersion in global experiences. Raised across the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, I developed an early appreciation for cultural nuance, language, and a truly international perspective.
Fluent in English, French, and Spanish - and conversational in Italian and Arabic - I built a 30+ year career supporting international clients and holding leadership roles at multinational organizations, including American International Group and J.P. Morgan. My work has spanned regions and cultures, with many years based in Switzerland and extensive business travel throughout Latin America.
Living and working across diverse environments has profoundly influenced how I lead, communicate, and connect with others. This global perspective is at the heart of my coaching. I partner with professionals and leaders to help them navigate complexity, strengthen their leadership presence, and move forward with clarity, confidence, and purpose.
Now based in New York City, I draw energy from the city’s vibrant cultural life - from theater and museums to its rich and diverse culinary scene - and continue to explore new countries. I’m energized by movement, inspired by exploration, and enjoy the simple pleasure of caramel ice cream.
Purposeful leadership grounded in global experiences.
Why I Coach
Whether I was living and working in different countries, building a year career on Wall Street, becoming a scuba instructor, or dancing competitively, what stands out most for me is not how different these experiences are, but how each one revealed something essential about presence, resilience, and the quiet strength found within.
Every chapter - whether high-pressure, deeply reflective, or physically immersive - became a mirror. Moving among cultures taught me adaptability. In the fast-paced world of finance, I learned to stay steady amid uncertainty. Underwater, I discovered the power of full presence. In dance, I experienced the importance of connection, communication, and trust. Each experience invited me to pause, listen inward, and return to a grounded center when life felt chaotic or unbalanced.
Over time, I came to understand how easily we drift away from that inner core. Stress, expectations, and the pace of work and life can pull us out of alignment - away from our values, intuition, and deeper purpose. Yet again and again, the practice of returning to my core shaped the way I live, lead, and support others.
This journey is the foundation of my coaching work today.
Who I Coach
I partner with professionals and leaders who want to navigate their careers and lives with more clarity, confidence, and intention. Through our work together, clients explore their inner landscape - mindset, patterns, and beliefs - that influences their decisions, leadership style, and well-being. I help them slow down enough to hear themselves, reconnect with their strengths, and make choices that feel grounded and aligned.
Together, we identify areas of misalignment and build practical approaches to restore resilience, purpose, and balance - so they can lead and live in a way that feels intentional, impactful, and sustainable.
Transformation is not something we chase in the outer world; it unfolds gently from within.
