The leaders I work with often face decisions, relationships, and responsibilities they can’t fully discuss with the people around them. They need a place where they can speak candidly, examine what they may be missing, and work through what is asking of them.
My role is to be alongside them as they do that work by creating enough space for them to see the situation more fully, test assumptions, examine their own impact, and make deliberate choices before they act.
I spent twenty years working in and leading organizations before moving into coaching full-time in 2019. Since then, I’ve coached more than 150 leaders and leadership teams across law, healthcare, education, and the public sector. I come to this work with a deep respect for how much leadership asks of people, not just professionally but personally. What I've learned is that durable change doesn't come from insight alone. It comes from sustained attention to the patterns that shape how leaders think, relate, and decide under pressure.
I work at the leadership level because changes there ripple. How a senior leader thinks, decides, communicates, and uses authority shapes the experience and performance of everyone around them.
I’m interested in the patterns underneath the immediate problems and how people experience one another along the way.
Jen understands the complexity and scrutiny that come with senior leadership. She has been a steady, incisive thought partner as I navigate strategic decisions and high-stakes communication. Our work has strengthened both my judgment and my ability to lead with clarity when it matters most.
CEO, Public Sector
Jen has been a vital support for our executive team as Edgility has scaled to triple its size over the past three years. During this period of rapid growth, Jen has helped us chart new waters, think deeply about the culture we want to build as a firm, and clarify the roles we as founding leaders envision for ourselves in the long run. She is a motivating, supportive coach who makes insightful connections and draw insights for us as we grow as leaders and navigate new challenges.

Training & Professional Foundations
I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) through the International Coaching Federation and hold a Master’s Degree in Leadership Development, with certifications in the Leadership Circle Profile, Hogan Assessments, mindfulness instruction, and group facilitation.
My approach draws from developmental coaching, systems thinking, emotional intelligence, and practices that support self-regulation under pressure. I use these foundations selectively, based on the leader, team, and situation rather than applying a single model.
Giving Back
Expanding access to high-quality coaching is an important part of how I choose to practice. I reserve space in my practice for no-cost and sliding-scale engagements and volunteer with the California Conference for Women, The Coaching Collaborative, and Grounded Idealist.
