About Me

I believe we all deserve someone to accompany us through life’s pivotal transformations. With over a decade of experience in nonprofit management, higher education, and program design, I help organizations and leaders move through complexity with clarity, confidence, and intention. I take a holistic, culturally-responsive, strengths-based approach to guiding transformation for individuals and organizations, helping them navigate uncertainty, clarify the unique organizational and individual gifts, and develop the skills needed to fully express their potential.

Whether you're building a new program, scaling your team, or stepping into a new leadership role, I partner with you to bring vision, alignment, and systems that support sustainable growth. I draw on my training as a nationally certified career counselor (MS Counseling, SFSU), my background in holistic mental health, and my practical expertise in strategy, operations, and learning design to help you move forward with intention.

During my time working with Emily I not only found my new beginning, I became me again. Emily and I first started by unpacking my background, in terms of my educational goals and career goals. But it didn’t stop there. Emily asked me how I was really doing. She prioritized my education and pushed me to reach my goals, and that was exactly what I did! While working with Emily, I realized I deserve to belong and succeed despite my fears. I can now truly say that I have clarity about my career goals, and I feel confident in my next steps and ability to tackle new challenges in order to achieve my goals!
