About Me

I’m a creative introvert who’s been asking “why” since the 1980s. My personal values of honesty, humor, and community drive all my work. I started Tiny Parade Coaching to help people celebrate their strengths and navigate life’s planned and unexpected transitions.

I believe we all have a responsibility to take care of each other and work towards a more equitable, just world. Coaching gives us the opportunity to identify our values and take action in alignment with those values.

I bring compassion, patience, and curiosity to each coaching session. I want to help you navigate your unique path, celebrate everyday achievements, and throw your own tiny parade!
