About

I've shaped my career through challenges and successes and can help you do the same

I’m a strategic HR leader, author, and innovator with a unique journey that spans enterprise organizations and scrappy startups. I’ve worked my way up, navigating complex challenges and scaling teams in fast-paced environments. Along the way, I’ve built impactful strategies that align people with business goals, foster growth, and drive results. My path hasn’t been without obstacles—those experiences have shaped my approach to solving tough problems and creating meaningful change. Now, I leverage my expertise to help others avoid the pitfalls I’ve faced and achieve success with confidence.

I didn’t start my career in HR—I initially thought I’d follow a path in science. As the child of immigrant parents, I was deeply inspired by their work ethic and passion for helping others. My father, a dedicated teacher, and my mother, a skilled seamstress, taught me the value of building connections and creating opportunities. Those early lessons shaped my approach to HR and organizational development, where I’ve dedicated my career to empowering people, fostering growth, and driving meaningful change in organizations.

Today, I help individuals and organizations answer critical questions: “Where are we now, where do we want to go, and how do we get there?” As a strategic HR leader and coach, I blend organizational development expertise with a deep understanding of human behavior. I’m passionate about guiding people and businesses from challenges and uncertainty to clarity, growth, and success.

My passion for guiding others took root early in my career when I realized the impact that mentorship and strategic support could have. I didn’t start in HR, but through years of learning from inspiring leaders and navigating complex challenges, I found my calling in helping people and organizations overcome obstacles, align their goals, and achieve transformative results.

"Culture eats strategy for breakfast. A company’s culture will determine its success or failure, no matter how brilliant its strategy. Only by cultivating a shared set of values, behaviors, and beliefs can organizations truly thrive and sustain growth."
— Peter Drucker

I earned my bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of San Francisco, where my fascination with human behavior first took root. After starting my HR journey in technical recruiting, it became clear that my passion lay in aligning people with organizational success. This realization inspired me to pursue a master’s degree in Human Resources and Organizational Development, also from the University of San Francisco, to deepen my expertise and build a career dedicated to driving impactful change.

It’s easy to feel stuck in your career or unsure about the next steps for your organization. You might sense untapped potential or feel like things aren’t progressing as they should. I understand that challenge and can help you navigate a path to clarity, growth, and renewed purpose.


I will help you unlock your potential, gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and achieve them with confidence. Understanding your purpose and what truly drives you is one of the most empowering experiences—give yourself the opportunity to make it a reality. 


I take a strategic approach that blends organizational development expertise with coaching techniques. In our sessions, we focus on uncovering strengths, enhancing capabilities, and fostering natural growth, whether for individuals or teams. Each engagement is tailored to your unique needs—no templates, just personalized strategies designed to drive meaningful results.
