My Background
My career has evolved over three decades in leadership roles within small design and arts-based businesses and non-profit arts organizations. I’ve always worked alongside artists and creatives to bring visionary projects to life—producing artistic programs, developing business and strategic plans, designing products, and building meaningful partnerships.
At the heart of it all: I’m a creative myself, and I’m deeply passionate about supporting other creative people.
Throughout my career, I’ve collaborated with and mentored hundreds of artists, makers, and creative professionals to launch, grow, and sustain their practices and ventures. I understand the unique challenges and opportunities that come with building a fulfilling and sustainable creative career and life — because I’ve lived them too. I know what it’s like to stand at a crossroads, wonder what’s next, and create your own path forward.
That’s what led me to professional coaching.
Today, I bring my lived experience and leadership background to my coaching work—helping artists, creative entrepreneurs, and cultural leaders gain clarity, build confidence, and take purposeful action.
I hold an Honours BFA from York University and I am an Internationally Accredited Professional Certified Coach (PCC) and Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC) through the Co-active Training Institute®. I am also a proud member of ICF Toronto.
