Before founding C3 Transformation, I held senior leadership development and internal consulting roles, including leading corporate leadership development at a Fortune 100 company and spending more than a decade at Johns Hopkins University supporting leaders from inside the institution. That experience shaped how I coach: practical, discreet, and grounded in how complex systems actually work.

 

​​​How I Work

My role is not to fix people or deliver generic leadership training. I help leaders think clearly and act deliberately when the situation is complex and the stakes are real.

​

Clients often bring me in when something important is not working, but addressing it publicly feels risky. We slow down enough to see what is actually happening, name what deserves attention, and make a small set of deliberate moves that protect trust rather than erode it.

​

The work is conversational, reflective, and action-oriented. Discretion is essential, and confidentiality is treated as a professional obligation.

​

​​​What Clients Experience

Clients describe my approach as calm, grounded, and practical. We focus less on performance theater and more on judgment: when to act, when to wait, what to address directly, and what to hold.

​

We pay close attention to relationships, power dynamics, and context because in complex systems, how something is done often matters as much as what is done.

​

Discretion is essential. I work in a way that protects both the leader and the institution.

​A Note on Fit

This work is best suited for leaders and organizations who value thoughtful partnership, discretion, and depth. It is not designed as a corrective intervention, a performance improvement tool, or a quick fix.

​

Engagements are structured, contained, and designed to support both the leader and the organization.

​

​Professional Training & Credentials​​​​

My work is grounded in deep institutional experience and formal training in leadership development, coaching, and organizational psychology.

​

I hold an M.S. in Clinical Counseling and an M.S. in Organization Development and Strategic Human Resources from Johns Hopkins University. I am a certified Leadership Coach through Linkage and trained in a range of assessment tools used in executive development, including:

​

• Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI)

• DISC Assessments

• Key Polarities Indicator & 360 (KPI)

• PDI PROFILOR 360

• Korn Ferry KF360 

• Crucial Conversations

If you are stepping into a new role or navigating a high-stakes situation in a complex institution, I would welcome a conversation.
