I help people transform their careers and lives; to identify and name what they want to improve, to address their challenges, obstacles, and limiting beliefs, and to discover their passions, gifts, and talents.
I reside in Beverly, MA with my husband (we’re newlyweds!) and two English Cream retrievers.
I help you to unlock hidden potential, to re-invent yourself and design the life you want to lead centered around your values and gifts. The goal is an integration of work, family, community, faith, charity, and exploration. I share my experience, strength, and hope for building a better future, along with coaching tools and practices that work.
From the foundation of my first job as a French teacher, I transformed my language skills and global mindset into a personal brand as the go-to international marketing resource in the growing B2B enterprise software industry. As a global marketing leader, I built teams with diverse skills and approaches, along with processes and communication tools for leading technology companies including Ventyx, Mincom, MRO Software, IBM Tivoli, NETg, Dun & Bradstreet Software, McCormack & Dodge, PictureTel Corporation, and Progress Software. I serve as a mentor for Women in Revenue and Eldera.
By combining these decades of business leadership experience, team-building, and development skills with coaching skills, I provide a unique solution for my clients looking for guidance, direction, and encouragement to move beyond their current vision and comfort level. My approach allows each client to discover their unrealized potential and apply it in settings that fit their values and priorities.

Women of Courage, Vol V.
It is a great read for women who seek encouragement and support on their life’s journey. My story, “My Life: Part Deux” is one of many from women who have overcome personal and professional challenges and share from the heart.

Even though I led a glamourous life of international travel and tremendous leadership responsibilities, in my quiet moments of reflection, I felt lonely, incomplete, - like there was a hole in my soul. I never felt I belonged, not just in the software world where my peers were all men, but to the world, to something greater than myself. I never felt truly at peace or “present”, always planning the next campaign, event, hire, budget requirement. I received rave performance reviews, praise and accolades. Inside I wondered, will they ever find out I’m not that good? Or that I can’t do Excel spreadsheets? Imposter syndrome? A term I didn’t know at the time. I was never satisfied – I always thought I could do better. The new job was demanding but exhilarating. I felt so lucky – I finally had reached the title of vice president and was earning the most I ever had. But the stress of my role became unmanageable. The hole in my soul was expanding. I didn’t have a connection to religion or to the judging God I’d been told about in the Catholic church. I sought solutions in yoga, mindfulness practice, stress management courses, and self-help books. But nothing worked. What did take the edge off was my wine, and only fine expensive California Chardonnay. I looked forward to my evening goblets of wine – they helped numb the pain. I didn’t think I was drinking too much as I still went to the gym every day and carried out my responsibilities as needed. I was managing my life just fine, thank you. But I was deeply unhappy. How could I be miserable when, on the outside, I had it all?
How long could this last? How could I see my way out of this morass? Who or what could guide me?
To read the entire story along with many others from brave women, order my book, Women of Courage.
