Hello – I’m a professional coach, consultant and emerging author.
As a coach, I hold certifications from the Hudson Institute of Coaching and the International Coaching Federation. My coaching focus is transition: helping clients change their lives, either professionally or personally.
As a consultant, I help both corporate and individual clients improve their work performance
In the area of writing I attempt to write novels with emotionally authentic characters that undergo life-changing experiences. My debut novel, Across the Inlet, is the first in a contemporary family saga series set in Alaska.

My education incudes a bachelor’s in creative writing from the University of Arizona and a master’s in organizational learning and instructional technologies from the University of New Mexico.
Originally from Alaska’s Kenai Peninsula, I now live in Edgewood, New Mexico, with my husband, Ken, and his airplane.
