Hello!

​At a glance: I build bespoke team coaching, leadership coaching, workshops, and retreats that help teams navigate real change—how decisions get made, what’s being avoided, how accountability works in practice, and what leaders need to do differently on the other side. Expect reflective, practical work: clear conversations, real learning, and follow-through your team can sustain. I also write and speak on these topics to share hard-won lessons, not just theory.

​

Working with me: Teams don’t usually get stuck because they lack intelligence; they get stuck because they’re avoiding something, misreading each other, or tolerating dynamics that quietly tax trust and performance. I pay attention to those patterns—and I’m direct about them—in service of the bigger picture.

The way I work is reflective and practical at the same time. I build bespoke team coaching and leadership development engagements based on what’s actually happening in your system—how decisions get made, what people are avoiding, how accountability functions in practice, and what your leaders need to be able to do differently on the other side of the work. My goal is always forward motion with integrity: real learning, cleaner conversations, and results your team can carry without me. 
 

My experience: I bring two decades of cross-sector experience to my work, with deep roots in public health, public policy, and organizational development. I specialize in helping leadership teams align around shared goals, move through periods of change, and build cultures where learning and accountability are the norm. My coaching and facilitation flex to meet a wide range of neurotypes, learning styles, and lived experiences—balancing strategic insight with emotional fluency.

I’ve trained thousands of people over the course of my career and bring hundreds of hours of coaching experience to my work with executives, teams, and changemakers.
 

In addition to coaching and facilitation, I specialize in synthesizing stakeholder engagement into focused, implementation-ready action plans. This practice has been shaped through years of collaboration with trusted partners and reflects my commitment to making insight usable. I've played a leadership role in the Health Equity Technical Assistance Hub, which supports grantees of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Healthy Children & Families portfolio, and I've facilitated or co-led retreats, action plans, and strategy sessions for clients including NACCHO, SEIU Education and Support Fund, Sierra Health Foundation, and multiple state and local agencies.
 

My signature collaborations: I’m a founding member of the Hub Strategists—a national collective of equity-driven consultants supporting systems transformation through coaching, facilitation, and strategy. I partner with Jen Lewis-Walden of Co-Create Health on our joint coaching engagement, Leadership in Tension, working with leaders navigating complexity and power dynamics with a focus on shared leadership models. I'm also a Coaching Team Collaborator with Whole Human Global, working with executives taking part in Transformative Wayfinding Journeys.
 

My background & credentials: Before launching Liminal Spaces, I served as Director of Programs and Business Development at CommonHealth ACTION, part of the executive leadership team. In that role, I co-led the creation of the Culture of Health Leaders national program center, a leadership initiative funded by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. Earlier in my career, I worked in civil rights advocacy, health policy, and campaign finance reform—always with an eye toward systems change. I
 

I hold a Master of Public Policy from The George Washington University, a BA in Political Science from Wheaton College (MA), and certifications in professional coaching (ACC) through the International Coaching Federation (ICF); Results-Based Accountability™ (RBA); the TKI Conflict Styles assessment; the Center for Creative Leadership’s Benchmarks® 360 assessment suite; and Coachability Consultant Inc.'s Coachability Quotient (CQ) assessment. 
 

Though I work nationally, I live in North Carolina, where I volunteer with the ICF-Raleigh Area Chapter and connect with other social impact entrepreneurs. I recharge by reading, walking in nature, loving on my rescue dog, and studying the ways people make meaning, grow, and adapt.
