I am a Private Life & Career Coach for high-performing Virtual and Executive Assistants who are ready to conquer career burnout and find clarity, confidence, and sustainable joy. With 35+ years of leadership and service experience, and a Master Life Coaching Certification—including Professional Life Coaching, Life Goals Coaching, Happiness Coaching, Life Purpose Coaching, and Abundance & Manifestation Coaching— I help to guide ambitious assistants through deep, measurable transformation using my RISE Method. My work bridges both purpose and practical execution, helping working women redesign both their careers and personal lives with intention. 

I am also the founder of The Joyful Assistant Collective on LinkedIn, a growing community where assistants can gather for encouragement, connection, and elevated conversation around living and leading with joy. 

 

I live with my husband Mark on the beautiful Pacific coast of Mexico, where we wake up each day overlooking the ocean. We have three amazing adult children who are living independently in Minnesota, and watching them grow has been one of my greatest joys.

I’m an avid gardener and love nurturing things as they grow—whether that’s in the garden, in business, or in life. When I’m not working with my coaching clients or supporting my VA clients, you’ll usually find me playing tennis, working out, or enjoying the beach lifestyle.

What makes this chapter of my life especially meaningful is that so much of it reflects the power of intention and manifestation. Through the principles of abundance and the Law of Attraction, I’ve learned how to consciously create a life aligned with joy and purpose. I attracted my husband Mark into my life, and I also manifested a dream I carried for many years—to live by the ocean.

These experiences deeply influence the work I do today. I help Virtual and Executive Assistants reconnect with their purpose, step into their value, and intentionally create careers and lives that feel meaningful, abundant, and joyful. My mastery of Law of Attraction and Abundance practices is a compelling part of my Master of Life Coaching practice.
