I graduated with an MBA from NYU Stern School of Business and am trained as a certified coach. In every endeavor, I support my clients in connecting purpose with action and reaching their professional goals.
"You need to know your destination (your why or purpose) to walk in the right direction. If you run without any directions, you might get lucky or, more likely, end up with regrets about all the efforts you put into something that doesn't mean anything to you."
