I strongly believe that being involved in the community and giving back not only helps me "pay it forward", but
also brings personal fulfillment and satisfaction that inspires my actions in my personal, professional, and
coaching life. Engaging with diverse perspectives through mentorship allows me to see the many 'pathways' people
navigate. It keeps my coaching lens wide and ensures I’m bringing fresh, real-world empathy to every session.
Currently, my involvement includes offering pro-bono transition/career coaching
sessions for
high-school students and new college graduates. These experiences provide a sense of purpose that fuels my
work with every client I serve.
Youth Sports Coaching:
I've spent over a decade coaching youth sports, including soccer and volleyball from elementary to high school.
It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend quality time with my children in unique high-pressure and
social settings. My passion went beyond being a "parent coach"—it was to help young athletes develop their
skills, confidence, and sportsmanship.
My commitment has always been to stay prepared and keep learning myself. Earning my US Soccer D Coaching
License was more than just a credential; it represents a formal commitment to learn how to instruct,
motivate, and lead young players effectively.

Big Brothers Big Sisters Of America (BBBS):
As my children have grown more independent, I’ve shifted my focus toward community mentorship. Serving the
Washington DC Metropolitan area as a volunteer with Big Brothers Big Sisters as a mentor, I aim to provide
consistency, safety, and the same intentional support and guidance I brought to the sports field—helping the
mentee child build the confidence to navigate their own paths.
Interview Prep Service:
I believe that the "insider knowledge" of the corporate world should be accessible to everyone, regardless of
their starting point. That’s why I dedicate a portion of my practice to providing pro-bono interview prep
workshops and 1-on-1 coaching for students at select local schools. Additional information is available at www.PrepForInterviews.com
