After spending over 8 years as a career coach helping more than 200 individuals and hundreds more through group sessions and talks, I bring both deep environmental expertise and proven coaching success to help you navigate your path. But my journey started just like yours – in the field. 

My Environmental Science Journey

As an environmental scientist, I built a dynamic career spanning multiple disciplines. I started as a surface water quality monitoring sampler, conducting field assessments and ensuring environmental compliance. My dedication and innovative thinking led to roles managing critical habitats and seagrass restoration projects. As Artificial Reef Coordinator for Tampa Bay/Hillsborough County, I oversaw crucial marine habitat enhancement initiatives. Throughout my career, I developed expertise in:

• Environmental resource permitting
• Surface water quality monitoring
• Habitat management and restoration
• Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
• Database development
• Grant writing and management

Why Choose Me as Your Coach?

As both a former environmental manager at the Environmental Protection Commission and a business consultant, I've sat on both sides of the hiring table. I understand what employers look for and how to help you stand out. Many of my clients:

• Don't know what to apply for
• Feel burned out from endless job searching
• Aren't getting interviews despite meeting job requirements
• Feel uncertain about their next career move
• Need help crafting compelling resumes
• Struggle with effective networking
• and many other issues

I never had a mentor or coach – I am not sure I was even aware I should seek one. That gap led to burnout and temporarily leaving the environmental field. My mission is to prevent that from happening to you.

We don't just focus on finding your next job – we design your career trajectory. Whether you're seeking roles in:

• Environmental compliance and permitting
• Natural resource management
• Water quality monitoring

• Environmental consulting
• Government agencies

• Private sector environmental departments
• or anything natural resources related

My Promise

As someone who switched from photography to biology, started over, and navigated the challenges of building an environmental career without guidance, I understand the importance of making informed career decisions. I've transformed my experience – including the missteps – into actionable insights that help my clients thrive.

I consider myself both a career and life coach because fulfilling environmental work is intrinsically tied to life satisfaction. Through our partnership, you'll gain not just career direction, but the confidence and strategy to create lasting professional fulfillment in the environmental field.
