From federal public servant to purpose-driven coach: why I'm the right resource for your career transformation

Navigating career change isn’t just about landing a new role — it’s about redefining what meaningful work looks like for you. As a systems thinker who supports clients seeking career and leadership coaching, I help purpose-driven professionals move through change with clarity, confidence, and strategy.

For eight years, I’ve led high-impact, cross-sector initiatives within different agencies across the federal government — helping teams, leaders, and systems evolve toward people-first, equity-centered operations. Whether I’m managing a government-wide project or helping an early-career professional align with their purpose, I bring the same commitment: to lead with empathy, clarity, and momentum.

My professional path has spanned from educating future generations about environmental stewardship with the Forest Service to supporting NASA-funded scientific research at USGS and from digital engagement for the General Services Administration to talent retention at the IRS. In every role, I’ve been the person people call when community needs to be built, passion for the mission needs to be sparked, or problems seem ambiguous and complex. Across agencies, I’ve served as a key culture-builder, DEIA advocate, and systems thinker — fostering collaboration, breaking down silos, and making space for underrepresented voices to shape policy and process.

I coach professionals who are ready to redefine their path. Whether you're navigating a career pivot, stepping into leadership, or trying to find purpose in your work again — I offer insight, structure, and strategy.

My coaching philosophy is built on:

• Systems thinking: I help you see how personal decisions align with institutional dynamics and long-term vision.

• Human-centered leadership: We’ll prioritize your values, identity, and needs — celebrating your unique skill set with a fine-tuned resume and plan to claim the work-life balance you seek.

• Data-driven strategy: From recognizing your passions to reviewing performance metrics, we make informed, goal-aligned decisions.

• Change readiness: You’ll gain the tools to move through uncertainty with clarity, resilience, and confidence. I'll support you moving from change resistor to catalyst for positive change in your own life and whatever organization benefits from your contributions.

I bring lived experience managing multi-agency transformation efforts, designing inclusive hiring systems, and leading culture change during national crises. That makes me uniquely equipped to help you navigate personal career transitions that feel just as complex or high-stakes.

I approach career growth holistically, helping you explore not just what’s next, but why — and how to build your work around what matters most.

I know how to work with ambiguity and change. Whether you're reimagining your next step or building something brand new, I’m equipped to help you move forward.

I’ve championed inclusive, people-first cultures — creating employee resource groups, mentoring early-career professionals, and advocating for underrepresented talent in public service at every level.

Let’s write your next chapter — together. If you're seeking a coach who blends empathy with strategy, vision with practicality, and lived experience with transformational insight — I'm eager to partner with you!

Together, we’ll clarify your goals, navigate your barriers, and co-create a path forward rooted in your strengths, values, and long-term impact.
