(that's me!) is a creative, energetic person who, like many coaches,
stumbled into the profession after spending time in Corporate America.
My interests in time management and goal setting stem from my experience
and efforts in those areas. I graduated summa cum laude (B.A. in
Business Administration) from Trinity International University in
2002, after attending school and working full time for seven years.
This challenge finely honed my time management and organizational
skills, albeit in a slightly off-kilter manner because of my right-brained
creativity and love of just slightly breaking the rules. |

I worked at
various positions in the corporate world from 1992-2005, including
the following;
- Jack-of-all-trades
in an internal printing department, where I operated photocopiers,
printing presses, and various paper assembly and collating machines
- Statistical
clerk for personal lines of insurance company
- COBOL programmer
- Web designer
for company's internal and external websites
The interesting
thing about this is that all of the above jobs were with the same
company! Obviously, my Renaissance Mind wouldn't let me stay put
for too long in one area.
My love of
motivational psychology and inspiring others led me to the field
of coaching in 2005. I'm a Certified Empowerment Coach through
iPEC
coaching school, a member of the International Coach Federation
(ICF),
and also a member of the Chicago Coach Federation (CCF)
where I serve on the Board as Marketing Co-Chair. I earned my
Associate Certified Coach (ACC) designation from the ICF in May,
2007.
My coaching
is shaped by my enthusiasm and humor, along with a deep passion
for helping others succeed - and, of course, pursue ALL their
passions! My long-term hobbies include quilting and reading, but
I've also dabbled in gardening (dismal failure), cooking (some
of it is actually edible!), dollhouse miniatures (definitely go
back to that one day), clothing design (don't even ask!), and
various other brief pursuits. |
