Raised by a remarkably self-assured mother, her unwavering self-esteem and deep faith in God profoundly influenced me. She instilled in me a strong sense of emotional intelligence, anchored in a sincere understanding of how much I am loved by God and the intrinsic value that he has instilled in me. Her teachings ensured that I understood my needs were met by God’s provision, and my desires were attainable through faith and dedicated effort. Her legacy guides me not only in my personal growth but also in nurturing my now adult children.
Embracing her wisdom, I've learned the power of releasing expectations of others, recognizing my unlimited potential, and prioritizing spiritual guidance over mental turmoil.
With three decades of rich experience in Talent Acquisition and HR Management, primarily within the demanding environments of DoD and Federal Contracting companies, my path has been anything but conventional. Initially serving dedicatedly as an employee, the unpredictable tides of company downsizing turned my career landscape into a yearly cycle of layoffs. This relentless challenge propelled me towards embracing the life of a contractor, a decision that unexpectedly pivoted my career away from HR and towards leveraging my college education in Journalism. Transitioning into a Contract Proposal Writer, I crafted resumes and delineated company achievements, inadvertently stepping into the realm of individual and organizational narratives. For the last seven years, I’ve been able to reconnect with my first love, which is Empowering People and Expanding Opportunities in the realm of Career & Life Coaching.
My journey has been and continues to be enlightening and invaluable beyond my imagination. I have personally observed a common thread – the struggle with change is real, both in individuals and company leaders, and yet, I’ve been privileged to navigate these shifts with a grace that sparked curiosity. It has led me to delve into the depths of Emotional Intelligence, seeking to understand the essence of people's self-perception and their articulated identities.
ARC Coaching is the culmination of this journey, born from a deep-seated passion for empowering individuals to embrace change, recognize their potential, and architect their future. It's more than a coaching business; it's a sanctuary where transformation is not just envisioned but actualized.

Just as the woman of God was instructed to go throughout her community and gather as many empty vessels as she could find and fill them with the oil that she possessed [2 Kings 4:1-7], I have been commissioned to go out and gather open, empty, and willing vessels. Once the vessels have been gathered, I fill them with all the love, knowledge, and wisdom that I have gained over the years as a Talent Influencer, Author, Mentor, Mother, Grandmother, Sister, Aunt, Friend, and above all, Woman of God and Advocate for the People of God.
