About Evolve & Co.
About Me (the short version):
I'm a working woman who's built a career, raised a family, navigated recovery & divorce, and learned (the long way) that real change doesn't come from advice or a good book.
It comes from doing the work.
My Story:
I came into coaching the way most of my clients come to me: through a life that asked more of me than I knew how to give.
I've spent over two decades in education leadership, currently as a VP of Learning, Instruction & Curriculum at a national K12 tutoring organization, where I design how adults learn to teach kids well.
I'm also a woman in long-term recovery, a mother of two teenage daughters, and someone who has rebuilt a life on the other side of divorce, while building my career through it all.
I stopped waiting for someone to come and save me and started doing the work. In real time; while everything that had defined me was in motion at once. The identity shifts. The communication patterns that needed to change. The social dynamics of a professional world that runs heavily on drinking culture.
And underneath all of it, for a long time, a quieter pattern: I was a people pleaser (still a work in progress). People pleasing, at its core, is a pattern that stunts your own growth while you're busy making sure everyone else is comfortable. It kept me small, in my career, in my relationships, and in my own sense of what was possible for me.
Letting go of it changed how I lead, how I communicate, and how I show up. It didn't happen from advice someone handed me or a framework from a book.
It happened from doing the honest, grounded work that coaching is built to facilitate: seeing a pattern clearly, owning your role in it, and choosing something different.
My training and education experience tells me how people change. My life experience has shown me what change actually costs.
I work with working women, in life coaching and in executive coaching, because that's the life I know, and because I've watched too many capable women settle for surviving it.
You don't have to. You can build something steadier, truer, and more your own. That's the work we do at Evolve & Co.
I'd be honored to do it with you.
