I love sharing resources & advice free of charge - I am here to help you! In 2022, I was named to Leland's Top 25 Coaches for helping opportunity seekers achieve their goals: https://www.joinleland.com/library/a/the-top-25-leland-coaches-of-2022 I'm a Product Manager at LinkedIn and advise entrepreneurs focused on AI & edTech. Before Product, I worked in Partnerships as a Chief of Staff and Business Operations. My degrees are in Finance and Analytics from the McIntire School of Commerce at the University of Virginia. I am also an instructor for LinkedIn Learning focusing on product management and platforms. I've spent the last 5 years coaching across the spectrum from early-career planning to technical interviewing for Product/Business Operations/Strategy/Cases.

Why do I coach?
To pay it forward. I can say with 100% confidence that I would be nowhere without the mentors and coaches that pointed me in the right direction over the years. The world is too big, and the opportunities too plentiful to be able to tackle it all on your own - I coach to be a part of each person's team & journey.
