Career &
Premed Coach
Are you feeling unsatisfied with your work? Are you seeking more happiness in your career or asking yourself, "what's next?". I specialize in coaching professionals who want to adjust their course and find meaning in their work.
​
​For premedical coaching, I work with individuals over 18 who are seeking to enter medical school in the next 1-4 years. ​​
Coaching Areas
I'm here to help you prepare for your next step in life, whether that is a new career, a new job, or going to medical school. For more than two decades, I have been supporting individuals at elite institutions and coaching them to meet their goals.
Career
I can help you identify targets for your career or job search and coach you through the process of exploring and pursuing your dreams.
As a former medical school admissions leader and prehealth advisor, I can guide you throughout your premedical journey, from preparation to school selection to the nuts and bolts of the admissions application process.
I am passionate about wellness and balance. Using mindfulness and stress management practices, you can achieve greater calm and grounding in a sometimes turbulent world.
