About

Leadership Coach, M.A., M.B.A.

With over 10 years of leadership development experience, I've guided professionals (executives, directors, middle managers, and supervisors) through the challenging transition from technical expert to impactful leader. The name Equipped 2 Evolve is representative of my belief that we are all capable of so much more than what comes naturally to us. We just need the right kind of guidance, tools, preparation, and practice to infinitely improve and transcend what we thought was possible.

“I believe leadership is about more than strategies or titles—it’s about becoming the most integrated, realized, and creative version of yourself, and inspiring others to do the same. Whether you’re guiding a team, supporting a partner, or raising a family, great leadership transcends the workplace and impacts every corner of life.”

Transform How You Lead, Transform Your Life

My Approach

I believe leadership is about more than strategies or titles—it’s about becoming the most integrated, realized, and creative version of yourself, and inspiring others to do the same. Whether you’re guiding a team, supporting a partner, or raising a family, great leadership transcends the workplace and impacts every corner of life.

My mission is to equip leaders to evolve—not just in their careers, but as whole human beings. When leaders transform, they create a ripple effect, transforming their teams, organizations, and communities.

My approach embraces the expertise you’ve already built. While you’ve mastered the day-to-day aspects of your role, leadership presents a different kind of challenge. This is where the Leadership Operating System (LOS) comes in.

The LOS is designed to help you apply the strategies and tactics you have acquired. Because what you need is not another isolated tool, but, rather, a system that integrates and organizes your tools for high stakes accessibility. Any positive habit you form is meaningless without encompassing frameworks of personal evolution to direct it. Being Equipped 2 Evolve means possessing the mental models that support performance adaptability and transferability.

When you are equipped with an operating system, there are no longer barriers – just opportunities for you to wield to your advantage: Foster high-performing teams, navigate complex business landscapes, and nurture cultures where trust and collaboration are the norm.
