Background

I have always been fascinated by people and their stories. In law school I was delighted to find much of the assigned reading was just that – pages and pages of stories about people and their actions, motivations and intentions. Later, as a practicing attorney assisting in white collar investigations, I was in my element in any role that put me in front of clients or witnesses. My genuine curiosity and forthright manner made them comfortable with me, and they would share their stories. Over time I realized I was more interested in the people and the facts of my cases than the law. And so I thought, what’s next? I wanted to build my career in the direction of the work that excited me the most. With each subsequent position I have done just that, until distilling the pieces I most enjoyed led me to coaching – the ultimate, unforeseeable and perhaps inevitable answer to my question, what’s next?

Experience

With over a decade of experience working in law firms, I offer unique insights and capabilities to my clients. I practiced law at New York City-based Debevoise & Plimpton before joining global law firm White & Case as a principal member of their People Leadership Team, leading talent management initiatives across litigation practice groups and advising practice group leaders on talent related matters.

I have coached and trained leaders in multiple AmLaw 100 firms, financial services institutions and university settings, and am regularly invited to present on leadership topics.

I earned a B.A. with honors from Princeton University and a J.D. from New York University School of Law. I am an International Coach Federation credentialed Associate Certified Coach, and I am certified as a Co-Active life and leadership coach through the Coaches Training Institute.
