I partner with high-achieving leaders seeking greater effectiveness, balance, and meaningful growth. My work is grounded in authentic human connection and focused on supporting clients to expand beyond what they thought was possible. My 20+ year career has spanned leadership roles across multiple sectors, including tech, economic development, nonprofits and film. Today, as an executive and integral coach, I draw on this breadth of experience to bring a unique blend of industry insight, coaching methodology, and storytelling to each engagement.

Prior to coaching, I led teams at AT&T and Calix, where I mentored professionals at various stages of their careers. I earned a reputation for placing bold bets on unconventional candidates and fiercely investing in my team’s well-being. While at Calix, I founded the first employee resource group for working parents during the pandemic.

As a board member and Head of Speaker Coaching for TEDxAtlanta, I worked with inventors, academics, and social entrepreneurs to transform powerful ideas into compelling talks that moved audiences.

In 2024, I reached a career inflection point. Shortly after a promotion, I realized that what I’d poured my energy into achieving was no longer enriching my life. In a moment that felt like stepping off a ledge into an abyss, I released myself from a successful career to create long-overdue white space to design my next chapter.

Following a three-month sabbatical, I decided to focus more fully on my favorite aspect of professional life, transformative 1:1 connection. In 2025, I launched Drumbeat Coaching LLC to help experienced leaders find — and follow — their own unique rhythms in work and life. To deepen my capacity beyond lived professional experience, I pursued Integral (whole person) Coaching® certification through New Ventures West, an ICF-accredited program. Grounding my executive coaching in integral methodology is a cornerstone of my practice, enabling sustainable change at depth — not just surface-level symptom management. While I still draw on my leadership background, I orient first and foremost to the client in front of me. I never assume that my experience of the world is yours.

Outside of coaching, I'm an active member of the Atlanta community where you can find me singing off-key, co-parenting a seven-year-old breakdancer with my soulmate, and learning to dance in the occasional Bollywood performance. I'm a LEAD Atlanta 2017 graduate, a Georgia State University 40 Under 40 honoree, and a 2018 finalist for the Technology Association of Georgia's Technologist of the Year. I hold an MBA from Georgia State University and a BA in Cultural Anthropology from The George Washington University.
